We begin with a powerful set of live worship, followed by a passionate biblical message, and then discussion groups to allow others to talk about what it looks like to live out the commands God is speaking. As we give back to our city by serving in various projects throughout the year, we are developing community and having fun seeking God. Come experience His presence with others your age. The best way to understand who we are and what we do is to come experience it for yourself.

4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice Debra Osmanski 414.530.4950 [email protected]
Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states, “God loves you,” to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective, and hear how He wants you to respond? We will be using Mark Virkler’s book “4-Keys to Hearing God's Voice.” We will not meet on November 30, December 21, or December 28. Come join us to learn how to hear God's voice!

Good or God? David & Linda Pratt 910.690.9018 / 910.692.4053 [email protected] / [email protected]
These days, the terms “good” and “God” seem synonymous. We believe whatever is generally accepted as “good” must be in line with God's will. But if good is so obvious, why does the Bible say we need discernment to recognize it? “The Good or God?” study will challenge your perspective and enable you to engage with God on a new level so you can enjoy the best life.

Prayer During the Sermon (PDS) Mamie LeGrand 910.441.8539 [email protected]
“Prayer During the Sermon” is a small group that allows believers to unite in prayer for our pastors, leaders, church, and community to ensure that the Holy Spirit is at work for the edification of the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12).
Location: Grace Church, Southern Pines (Prayer Room) When: Sunday During All Services Childcare: Provided
Prophetic Presbyteries Lorena Cox 910.690.3563 [email protected]
What is Prophecy? We prophecy out of 1 Corinthians 14:3, which says that prophecy is for the strengthening, encouragement, and comfort of the believer. We are not a prayer team, nor are we fortune tellers. We are listening to what we are hearing God say for you. Prophetic words should not contradict scripture, or be taken in place of the Bible. Sometimes a prophetic word is for the future, but that is not always the case. Many times God uses prophetic words to confirm what you already know and encourage your faith. God knows you, and He is speaking to you! Contact us for an interview to join “Prophetic Presbyteries!”

Spirit, Soul & Body Phil Bivins 910.603.4781 [email protected]
Have you ever asked yourself, “What changed when you were born again?” You look in the mirror and see the same reflection; your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same, and yielding to the same old temptations; that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, "Has anything changed?" The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you will forever ask yourself doubt filled questions, or make statements like, "How could God love somebody like me?”, “How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord?”, “I don't deserve it!”, or “I'm not good enough!” “Spirit, Soul & Body” will help you eliminate doubt filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this small group might be just for you.

Family on Mission Jimmy & Joanna Coxe 910.638.5323 [email protected] [email protected]
When God wanted to act on His promises to save the world, He started with a family and gave them a mission. He spoke to Abram and His household, and they became a family on mission. We see Jesus operating in the same way; gathering an extended family-like group of disciples around Himself before embarking on His mission. Jesus needed a family on mission, so come join us as we discover how to integrate discipleship into the fabric of our everyday lives.
It’s not Family OR Mission; sacrificing one or the other. It’s not Family AND Mission; managing boundaries. It’s Family ON Mission; moving as a pack, and integrating both into the same fabric.

You and Me Forever Juan & Wendy Gomez 910.638.3184 [email protected] / [email protected]
Francis and Lisa Chan, the authors of “You and Me Forever,” challenge us to think differently about some of the most important relationships in our lives. A jealous God asks us to pursue Him first and foremost. If we have Him at the center, then life makes sense, and everything falls into its proper place. Jesus was right; we have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is not by focusing on marriage. This workbook is meant to help take these powerful truths and translate them into action and change lives.

“Women Ministering to Women” is a monthly gathering of women who are hungry to really know God and learn what it is to abide in His presence. We have been reading Bob Sorge’s “The Secrets of the Secret Place,” and will continue to do so for the upcoming small group cycle. Each chapter stands alone, and it is easy for women to join us as we move forward. This book, based on Matthew 6:6, gives keys to finding the Father in the secret place of prayer, and communion with the Lord in His Word.
