Adult Ministries
In addition to Community Groups, Mid-week Small Groups, and Adult Sunday School Classes, the Adult Ministries of Grace include the Men's and Women's Ministries which seek to promote hearts for God and focus specifically on mentoring, community-building, and outreach.

Men's Ministry
GCC Men's Ministry exists to encourage men to be godly in their personal lives, families, workplace (or school), church, and in the world. The men of Grace are strongly encouraged to participate in men's small groups to foster strong relationships with other men, and to pray about and discuss topics that are particularly relevant to men. These groups meet in various places (offices, restaurants, homes) and times throughout the week.

The men of Grace have Saturday morning Men's Gatherings every four months. These are great times of fellowship and teaching- where we seek to address life-relevant topics that have been raised by our men.

This group meets to discuss real-life application of Scripture, books, sermons, and anything else that applies to the area of moral and mental purity. We discuss issues such as lust and pornography and ways to combat these temptations, as well as how we can live out the call to be the spiritual leaders of our homes and families. This group provides real accountability to our desires to love God more than anything else. This is an ongoing group that includes very open, honest, and sometimes quite raw conversation about our struggles, victories, desires, and hopes.

If you’re a man who would like to be a part of this group, call Ken Raetz @ 584-7894 (a private cell phone) for more information. In a few weeks, we will start out going through a study of John Piper’s Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ.

Women's Ministry

The Women's Ministry of Grace is committed to connecting women together for fellowship, discipleship, mentoring, and outreach. The women of Grace hold Saturday morning Women's Gatherings every four months throughout the year. These events provide a time of fellowship, worship, and teaching.
