Life Together.

 
“There can be no maturity in the spiritual life, no obedience in following Jesus, no wholeness in the Christian life, apart from an immersion in, and embrace of, community. I am not myself by myself.”
— Eugene Peterson
 
 
 
 

Small Groups

What are Small Groups?

At Grace Long Beach, we believe life should be lived together! God has designed us with a desire to be known and to belong. We do this by being part of both a collective community (church on Sunday) and a more intimate community (small group) where we find belonging and challenge moving us to grow in our faith.

Why a Small Group?

Part of being a Christian involves discipleship; learning from Jesus how to live and love like Jesus. Small groups help us grow in our faith, carry each others burdens, and cultivate meaningful relationships centered around Jesus.

If you’d like to learn more about small groups contact Pastor Daniel Long at dlong@gracelb.org

Life Groups

What are Life Groups?

Life Groups are a great way to start meeting people at Grace. We believe that Christ is in all of life including supper clubs, woodworking and pickle-ball! They are designed to be centered around an activity or interest making connection easy and enjoyable. Life Groups are 8 - 10 weeks long and take many forms: hiking, woodworking, BBQs, supper clubs, games, bible study, there are lots of options! Life Groups topics change depending on who is leading the group. Don’t see one you are interested in on the list? Maybe that’s your que to start one! Pickleball anyone?

Why Life Groups?

Let’s be honest, life can be a lot and it can feel challenging or even intimidating to get connected to a community. We often avoid our loneliness by being overly busy and escaping into entertainment and distractions. Binge much? What we really need is deeper more meaningful relationships where we feel known by God and others. A space where we can belong and grow in our relationship with Jesus. Life Groups are a great first step in connecting with other believers through fun and shared interests.
