The following is a brief statement on what this group means to two regular attendees.

          "For us, being in a small group means many things. It has fostered open Christian discussion on life with God and Christ. It gives us support for each other in a variety of situations like health, family, personal difficulties, kids, job, etc. It brings out a stronger sense of positive mental health guided by God and Christ.

          Our group has grown far beyond a study of the Bible; we share travel, play, and so much more. We look forward to each week’s session because it is a chance to fellowship and laugh, not only at each other, but at ourselves. This small group experience has enabled us to face the loss of our pastor in a positive vein because we really believe Christ Jesus will look out for us. We feel better about our personal relationship with Christ and recognize our involvement in Grace’s entire congregation is just an extension of our small group Christian family. We think, no, we know that all of our group members feel that we’re just one big family.”
