Small Group Minstry
Growing In Faith Together
At Grace, we believe faith is a lifelong journey—one that grows stronger when we walk and learn together. Through study, reflection, and shared conversation, we discover how God’s Word speaks into our everyday lives and into the world around us.
Throughout the year, Grace offers a variety of studies and small groups designed to nurture both the heart and the mind. Whether you’re new to exploring faith or have been part of the church for years, these gatherings provide a welcoming space to ask questions, share insights, and deepen your relationship with God and one another.
Field Notes For The Wilderness
Second Thursday of each month, beginning in January 2027
As the new year begins, we invite you to gather for meaningful conversation, shared meals, and gentle exploration of faith. Join us for the Field Notes for the Wilderness Book Study, a monthly space to slow down, connect, and reflect together
We’ll share a simple meal and explore Field Notes for the Wilderness: Practices for an Evolving Faith by Sarah Bessey — a hope-filled book for anyone navigating change, facing questions, or seeking to grow more deeply in God’s love.
From The Inside Out: Course
Sundays, September 13 – October 26, 2026
Are you longing for a deeper, more authentic life with God? This winter, you’re invited to gather for fellowship, shared food, and meaningful conversation as we explore faith together.
Together, we’ll journey through From the Inside Out: Discovering a Deeper + More Transformative Life With God — a course exploring how a relationship with God reshapes our hearts, minds, and lives from the inside out.
Small Group Book Study
Sundays, August 16 – September 6, 2026
What if the drive to be better than others is actually making us worse? Join us for a four-week small group study of Miroslav Volf’s The Cost of Ambition.
Together, we’ll explore how ambition, comparison, and competition shape our lives—and consider a richer Christian vision of excellence rooted in humility, gratitude, love, and mutual honour.
Catechism Course
Sundays (bi-weekly), 12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. | Starting September 13
Curious about the foundations of the Christian faith? Join Grace’s year-long, intergenerational Catechism Course, led by Alessa Polito.
Adults, young adults, and youth (Grades 10–12) will explore 20 key topics—from the Trinity and Scripture to church history and core Christian beliefs.
Whether you’re new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years, come ask questions, learn, and deepen your faith.
Membership Classes
Are you curious about what it means to be Presbyterian or a member of Grace Presbyterian Church? Attend a special Lunch & Learn gathering, offered quarterly at Grace.
Each session begins with a shared lunch and relaxed fellowship, followed by a friendly and informative conversation about the heart of Grace and what membership looks like here. Whether you’re new or have been attending for a while, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect, ask questions, and discover your next steps in faith and community.
Seasonal & Special Events
Our faith formation at Grace extends beyond our regular studies. Throughout the year, we offer opportunities that help people explore their faith more deeply and connect with others on the journey. Each experience is thoughtfully designed with different group sizes, styles, and approaches so that everyone can find a setting that feels comfortable, meaningful, and spiritually enriching.
Programs include:
Book or Topical Studies – focused on relevant themes of faith and life
Special Events - including the annual Preaching Grace Event-held each spring
