We believe that being invested in a small group of believers who are committed to growing together in Christ is crucial to the maturing of our faith. We see this pattern of relational, small-group discipleship practiced throughout the New Testament. Jesus’ own ministry reflected this pattern as he chose a small group of twelve men to walk through life with, using every means and every opportunity to “build them up” in the faith.
In light of this, we believe that the deeply formational aspects of discipleship happen best in the context of a small group, where we share our lives with each other, study God’s Word together, and use our unique gifts to encourage and build up one another into maturity in Christ. We encourage all of the Grace community to make a Home Group an integral part of their discipleship process.
