Grace Circles (small groups) are truly what life is all about: relationships!
Circles are a way for you to build relationships with others at Grace Church. Every Grace Circle is a little different! Some circles focus on journaling, serving others or studying. K (koinonia) circles are all about building relationships and EQ (engagement question) circles talk about questions from Sunday messages. We have circles for men, women, married couples and young adults; some offer childcare!
