Grace, a United Methodist Congregation

    Small Groups

    Why Small Groups?

    Making and growing highly committed disciples is at the heart of our mission statement.  While we promote many avenues of spiritual growth, our primary means of connecting people to God and to each other lies in our small group ministry.

    We share our commitment to group life in our Journey statement.

    As highly committed disciples, we grow in our relationships with God by:

    • Consistently seeking God's will through His Word
    • Listening for His voice in all circumstances
    • Living in Christian community within our small groups
    • Supporting each other along life's path
    • Leading and encouraging others in their spiritual journeys

    In addition to our own understanding of God's presence in our lives, we also find our vital connections within our small groups. It is here that we find our place within the GRACE family and our callings in ministry.

    If you would like to help in connecting with a small group, or just to ask questions about our group life culture, please contact Lana Johnson, Spiritual Formation Director:  lana@gracebhm.org.


    DISCIPLE Bible Study

    Are you feeling led to grow deeper in your understanding of God's word? Are you seeking a Bible study that will help you to grow spiritually as well as relationally with the family of God?

    Then DISCIPLE Bible Study might be for you!

    DISCIPLE is an in-depth study of the Bible whose purpose is to further equip participants in their knowledge and relationship with Christ and each other. Not just one class, but instead it is a series of long-term studies focusing on different parts of the Bible. The studies each last for an entire school year, beginning in September and concluding in May.

    Participating in a DISCIPLE study group includes:

    • Daily reading assignments, taking approximately 1/2 hour
    • Group meetings each week consisting of teaching videos, prayer and discussion of the previous week's reading

    If you have questions or need help in connecting with a DISCIPLE group, please contact Lana Johnson, Spiritual Formation Director:  lana@gracebhm.org.
