Grace Church offers Small Groups that meet on a regular basis. Grow in your faith together in any of the groups listed below.

SMALL GROUPS

Why should I participate in Small Groups? 

Grove City Grace United Methodist Church encourages people to live a lifestyle of Intentional Discipleship by practicing the "Means of Grace,” which are comprised of the “Works of Piety” (prayer, worship, studying the scriptures, etc.) and the “Works of Mercy” (visiting the sick, feeding the hungry, helping the hurting, etc.).

We understand that while intentional discipleship is a personal experience, it is not a solo experience. Jesus gave us the church (each other) so that together, we can live into Christ’s call to “Love God and Love One Another.” 

At Grove City Grace UMC, participation in our small group ministry significantly aids the participant's intentional discipleship by creating a safe space in which authenticate Christian community can be experienced. Small Group members care, support, encourage, and with a gentle grace, hold each other mutually accountable to becoming who God has intentionally created us, individually and collectively, to become as disciples of Jesus Christ.

knitting

Details: Grace Knitters meet every Monday morning from 10:00 am to noon in the nursery. They are currently working on prayer shawls and lap robes which will be given out by the children of the church at Christmas time. In the past, these items have been given to residents of Grove Manor, Orchard Manor and Fellowship Manor. You will also see some of their handiwork on the hat and mitten tree and in the cradle when a new baby is born in our church. If you knit or crochet or would like to learn how, you are welcome to join this ministry here at Grace.

Golfing
