GRACE INSTITUTe

Grace Institute blends advanced biblical training and single-gendered small groups. Our goal is to train disciples to learn from Jesus, love Jesus, and look like Jesus. The Institute meets on Sunday evenings for dinner, small group discussion, and classroom lectures. Participants devote one to two hours a week on homework. Reach out to Associate Pastor Ryan Leasure with any questions.

Participants begin each evening at 5 p.m. learning in a lecture-style session in the auditorium. At 6 p.m., all participants enjoy dinner with their small group and leader to discuss homework and daily journaling, review accountability questions, and practice scripture memory.

Our desire is that all members at Grace participate in either a Grace Group or Grace Institute. Each semester is a new opportunity to try one or the other. The Institute requires an increased amount of time, energy, and resources. This investment in your personal growth, which affects your own family, our church, and the unbelievers in your life, is well worth it.

FALL SEMESTER - THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF PAUL

Outside of Jesus, the most important figure in the New Testament is the Apostle Paul. A former opponent of the Jesus movement turned apostle, Paul's life and writings have made an enormous impact on the world. This course will take a deep look into his life and writings. And it will demonstrate that Paul's ministry not only changed the first-century world, it's still changing the world today.
