In and through His life, Christ showed us that value systems are created within the context of living, not studying. From His example, we at Grace have developed a Small Group ministry for the purpose of creating environments through which each participant is encouraged to establish deeper, more meaningful relationships with God and the people around them. Our GRACE Groups are interactive and inter relational, giving everyone a chance to participate and grow. In many ways, they help to put you in touch with people who, like you, are discovering who they are as individuals, how God made them, and the plan that He has for their lives.

Each Group meets weekly and consists of between 8 and 15 people who are committed to helping one another toward growth and life change. This might happen in any number of different ways, including bible study, worship, prayer, community service, fellowship, and a host of different shared experiences.

As we grow and develop the vision and purpose for these groups, we realize that they are only one of many different ways to encourage and foster kingdom relationships.  However, we are convinced that each group will play a vital role in helping us to move towards becoming the kind of authentic, loving, biblical community we read about in the pages of the New Testament.

 Our GRACE Groups require a commitment of 1 year, at the end of which time the participants are given a chance to evaluate whether or not they want to remain in the group or to explore other options. Each of our Groups have a basic DNA structure in which all of the individuals are pursuing a deper, more intimate relationship with God, a deeper, more intimate relationship with one another, and that have an intentional focus on serving others with needs outside of the group. All of these groups meet in different locations all over Monmouth County throughout the week.
