As women we feel pulled in multiple directions…the busyness of our schedules, expectations, our own desires for real relationship. Most often our schedules and the expectations of others combine in a way that leaves us no time for meaningful relationships. We feel unprepared for life’s responsibilities and alone in the learning. We have been let down and aren’t certain if we can trust again. We want more than the Sunday morning experience, but we aren’t sure about letting others in to our lives.
Women’s community at Grace Chapel does not want to busy your life. We want to support your ability to invest as a family unit in community. We want to honor your willingness to open up and invest in relationships.
We exist to provide opportunities for:
- women to connect with other women outside their weekly life groups
- women who are new to Grace to begin building relationships
- women who want to invest in a secondary group to grow with other women
Our ultimate desire in these groups is to bring together women of all ages and stages of life to provide opportunities to grow spiritually, to develop deep and lasting relationships, and to exercise God given gifts to reach out to others.
Coming this fall:
Bible studies – daytime opportunities to gather with other women and search God’s Word
