Connection happens best in circles, not rows. Groups are a great way to meet people, develop relationships, grow spiritually, and make a large church seem small.
Below is listed every current group offering with the link to sign up.
If you have any questions about joining or leading a group, don’t hesitate to contact GFC’s Groups Pastor, Jacob Bouvier. Click here to email Jacob.

Community Groups
Community groups are ongoing groups that meet from September- May. They generally meet in homes or at the church. Some are formed by geographic location and some by stage of life. They are designed to help adults connect relationally and grow spiritually.

SUMMER SCHEDULE – POWA will meet on Thursday evening, July 17.
Parents of Workers Abroad is a monthly support group for parents or grandparents of those serving overseas. Family members of global workers left behind can feel a sense of loss when their loved ones are in a foreign field. Often there are feelings of gratitude for children obedient to God, mixed with a real sense of loss when they leave, even for those who have prayed for God to send workers into the harvest. This group seeks to provide fellowship, resources, and support to others who understand this unique life circumstance.
When: This group meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, 6:30-8pm.
Where: GFC, Introducing Grace Room
