Grace Chapel Ministries
Current Educational Hour Classes
We offer small group classes designed to expand our knowledge and understanding of the word and build relationships between people. All offerings are available to anyone who has an interest in growing in their knowledge of God.
The following classes begin Sunday, February 12th. All classes are from 10am to 10:45am.
Viewing Film
The power brokers aren’t just in politics. They’re in culture and arts, too - including movies, making an impact and shaping worldviews of friends, family, strangers, and even us. Ever feel lost in this sea of images, sounds and noise? Not sure what to watch or why? This class will look at film through a Christian worldview, discuss the culture we live in and how we can interpret and help transform the messages of movies, music, books and art into something redemptive. Contact for more information.
Bible Study Basics
Are you new to following Christ and are not really sure how to read the Bible? Been a Christian for awhile and still don’t feel like you know how to make sense of a lot of it? What do I do with lists of names, cultural practices that seem antiquated or hard to understand, complicated texts, oh, and the prophets? Don’t feel sheepish, we’ve all been there, and there is great joy to be found in the learning process. Join in the Fellowship Hall exploring some basics of how to read and understand the Bible.

The Heart of Ministry
Our Community Groups at Grace Chapel are designed to provide the people of the church with an opportunity for meaningful connection on a regular, ongoing basis. Our groups seek to be intergenerational groups with the unifying theme being “geography.” Grace Chapel people who live in a particular part of town gather and are intentional about doing “life together,” encouraging, praying and helping one another along in the Christian life.
These groups “open” for a season in the fall and spring and then are closed in between so that the groups can build relational trust and consistency. For interested persons wanting to join a Community Group in an “in between time,” please send an email to the expressing your interest. We will email an interest questionnaire out to you. Please fill out the questionnaire, return it and you will be put on a waiting list until such a time as when the groups open again in the fall or in the spring. A Grace Chapel staff person will be in touch with you when such a time arrives. In the meantime, feel free to inquire into our as to where things are in the process of Community Groups opening up. Thank you for your interest in connecting with the people of Grace Chapel!

Coffee, Donuts, and Refuge
The Geneva House is a cozy built-in coffee lounge in the center of Grace Chapel. We have volunteers making coffee and serving donuts every service, reading material, and friendly people to meet. Though its a place of fun, we take the ministry seriously. This is not just about free donuts.
The original Geneva House was the home of Frenchman John Calvin in Geneva, Switzerland. John’s home became a focal point of the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century when fleeing Protestants fled to Geneva for refuge from persecution.
In our present day here in the United States persecution often comes from the tyranny of the work-week, the daily grind, and the loneliness that can creep in to the modern 21st century lifestyle. The Geneva House is a place to come and recharge, share your burdens with people who care, and reconnect your heart under the canopy of God’s Grace.
