Small Groups at Grace
Find your people. Grow together. Follow Jesus.
We believe we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. Small Groups are a place to move from simply attending Grace to being known, cared for, and connected to the family of God.
Gather with 8–10 people from Grace to build meaningful relationships, grow in your relationship with Jesus, pray for and care for one another, and learn what it looks like to live on mission together. Our hope is that these aren't just people you see at group each week, but people you begin to do life alongside.
Connect Groups meet from September through May, giving you time to move beyond introductions and build the kind of relationships where people can truly know and walk alongside one another. As groups grow, our hope is to raise up new leaders and multiply into new groups therefore, making room for more people to find community and connection at Grace.
Choose the day, time, and location that works best for you. Your group leader will provide information about your group's study and any materials you'll need.
If this is your first time in a small group at Grace, we suggest you start with a Rooted group as the material is so foundational to who we are at Grace.
Wednesday Night Families: We have a spot for EVERYONE from 6-8pm. Programming is available through GraceKids on Wednesday evenings for children in 5th grade and younger - it's FUN and they will learn more about Jesus. Please register your children when you register for your group.
Teens have a place as well, they can participate in Grace Youth on Wednesday evenings—no registration needed; they can simply show up at Grace.
Jesus at the center. People who matter. A family to belong to. A mission we live together.

We ask that everyone participate in Rooted 1 as their initial small group experience at Grace as it is so foundational.
Connect Through Serving
Fall is a time of new ministries starting up, so there are many new opportunities to be part of the exciting ministries happening around Grace. Being part of a serving team gives you the opportunity to get to know others from Grace outside of the Auditorium, as well as being part of the mission of Grace in a very practical way – from being a greeter, to serving with worship tech, to working with kids… and more. Use the button below to check out the many ways you can step into serving at Grace and let us know you’d like to find out more. Someone will contact you shortly to have a short conversation about how we can help you find a great fit for you.

There will be a moderated Q&A session at Grace on Saturday, May 16 from 10am to noon at Grace with our Lead Pastor candidate, Drew Shepp. We ask that you submit your questions by end of day on Thursday, May 14. This will give the leadership team an opportunity to group similar questions together to keep the time on Saturday as informative as possible.
Lead Pastor Voting
To affirm our Lead Pastor candidate Drew Shepp, please note that only Covenant Members are able to vote. This covenant is affirmed annually. If you have already affirmed your membership since September 2025, there is no need to affirm it again prior to voting for Lead Pastor. Lead Pastor voting will close at 9pm on Tuesday, May 19.
Church Family Suppers
40 days after Jesus rose on Easter morning, He ascended to Heaven, and then the early church began. Friday, May 15th marks 40 days after Easter. The early church did not look at all like our modern church where we go to a large building, instead people gathered in smaller groups in homes around a meal. We want to remember, celebrate and experience the sense of community the early church shared by gathering in homes for a meal on Friday evening May 15, or Saturday evening May 16.
If you are willing to host, we ask that you open your home to others from Grace and provide the main course of the meal, but also allow others to bring something to compliment the meal. (Note: if you are hosting you only need to register one person in your family for contact information - we will assume the rest of you family will be participating in the final numbers.) You'll receive the list of those attending on May 11th, the Monday prior to the weekend. We ask that you contact those who are coming with information about your home, the main food you'll provide, and what they can bring.
If you would prefer to attend, rather than host, use the button below to let us know and your host will contact you a few days before the supper. We anticipate that some hosts will have capacity to include children, and there may be others where that is not possible. We will match you with a host based on your preferences.
We are excited for this time to enjoy our church community together!
Celebration Sunday
On Sunday, May 3, at 10:00am we’re gathering as a church family to celebrate how God has been at work through the people of Grace. Baptisms and cardboard testimonies will be part of the service. Children will be sitting with their parents for this service - nursery will be available.
Baptism Sunday
We’ll be having baptisms during our celebration service at 10:00am on May 3. If you’d like to be baptized or have questions about it, you can submit your info below using the button below and someone will contact you shortly.
Member Covenant Affirmation
If you did not affirm your annual Member Covenant last September, and would like to do so now, please use the button below to review the covenant and affirm your membership if you are in alignment.
Easter Celebration Services at 9:00 & 10:45am
Celebrate Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday! Services are family-friendly, so you will celebrate together as a family. (Nursery will be available for children age 2 1/2 and younger.)
Good Friday Worship Service
A solemn worship experience including music, reflection, and dramatic reading of the biblical account of Jesus' last hours. There will be no children's programing offered during this service. Children (upper elementary and older) may participate in the service with their parents at their parents' discretion.
Mexico Mission Trip
Grace will be partnering with our amazing missionaries, Stu and Cristina Grewatz, to take a team to Mexico to support their thriving ministry. The team will help in a wide variety of ways, including ministering relationally to their church, doing some repair work, and making Jesus known in the community. We need people with a variety of skills and interests to be part of this team.
If you want to find out more, please submit this application. This application does not commit you to the team, but simply shows you are intentionally interested.
Maundy Thursday
Experience the significance of what Jesus did and said in His final hours with His disciples (The Last Supper) as we gather together for a time of communion and community. Children in grade 4 and older are encouraged to participate with their parents. There will be a separate kids program for children in grade 3 and younger. Space is limited for both kids and adults because of the experiential nature of the service, so please register in advance.
Volunteer To Deliver Food
Many in the Twin Cities are fearful of leaving their homes to run simple errands like going to the grocery store during this time of chaos. A number of families who particpated in Christmas Sharing have reached out to us with a need to have a box of food delivered to their home. You can use the link below to sign up to deliver a pre-packed tote box of food for a family. Please note that the delivery may very likely be outside of the Roseville area.
