Christian Formation Classes begin on 10/4, we hope you will join us!
Join us for a class on Christian friendship! In the last twenty years hundreds of Christian marriage books have been written. Only a dozen or so have been written on friendship. But in the early church, Christian friendship was talked about by most theologians. We want to revisit this important topic because everyone has friends and can be a friend. How do we strengthen our friendships and move through conflict when things get hard? How does the Bible talk about friendships? What does it mean for Jesus to be our friend? How does the new heaven and the new earth motivate us in our friendships in the here and now? Join us in the chapel on October 4 as we start our class!
Adults will meet the first three Sundays of the month at 9am. Occasionally the schedule will change due to retreats or holidays, so please check the calendar here.
Youth Christian Formation meets every Sunday from 9-10 AM for all 6th-12th graders throughout the ministry year, with just three Sundays off: December 27, February 28, and March 28. We want this hour to be a consistent place where students can build friendships, engage seriously with Scripture, ask honest questions, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Most Sundays include a game, teaching, small-group conversation, and prayer, while making room for students to connect with one another.
This fall, we’re exploring friendship and how Jesus shapes the way we belong, care for one another, navigate conflict, practice forgiveness, and make room for others. In the spring, we’ll turn toward Confirmation, giving students space to explore the foundations of Christian faith, wrestle with their own questions, and take greater ownership of their faith.
We take young people and their questions seriously without expecting them to have everything figured out. Whether a student has grown up at Grace or is walking through the doors for the first time, all are welcome.
This is an hour of fellowship and connection for children in our church (ages 2 years old through 5th grade), featuring rotating activities like Lego building, cooking, balloon animals, and crafts. All children must be signed into KidCheck, a secure children check-in system, and wear their KidCheck name tag to enter class. Check-in stations can be found in the upstairs foyer or downstairs in the hall outside the classrooms. Children are escorted by their teachers to their age appropriate worship service class after Christian Formation class is over.
