Adult Education

Following Jesus Together, with Topher Fox & Heidi Potter in Westminster Hall

Not unlike the original twelve disciples, we’re a motley, eclectic crew trying to follow Jesus together as he takes us on the journey of a lifetime. During this four-session course, we will explore what it means to be an apprentice of Christ Jesus and to live in healthy Christian community. We strive to achieve this by deepening our faith, listening and being guided by the Holy Spirit, learning about discipleship essentials, strengthening our relational connections, and being Kingdom-focused for the benefit of others.

Drawing Near to the Heart of God, with Carl Hofmann in Oerter Hall

Understanding God's justice for the flourishing of all. Led by Carl Hofmann and the Grace Commons Biblical Justice Ministry, this 3-week course will aim at growing in us a heart of discipleship while pursuing biblical justice.

Prayer

Praying Together, 9:30-10am, in the Fallout (aka. the lower level)

Join the Prayer Ministry and intercede for the church, her ministries and the day's worship service. Each Sunday we hear from a ministry or about a topic. Lift up the next generation as we pray for students, families or young adults. Seek justice and mercy as we pray for outreach, service and missions. Support our leaders and congregation through seasons, decisions and formation.


We would also love to find a place to plug you in as a volunteer during the 9:30am Common Ground hour. If you are interested in helping out with one of our ministries, please contact Lindsay Waymire at lindsay.waymire@gracecommons.org.
