Tender Loving Care Groups Semester Based Groups
Small Groups at Grace Group Information

Grace Lutheran Church has two types of groups: Tender Loving Care (TLC) groups and semester based groups.
TLC groups have been meeting since 1992 and have been the core of helping members feel connected and cared for, reaching into the community to invite non-members to have a relationship with Jesus and his church, and to spend time in God’s Word.  The TLC group schedule will follow this format:  personal sharing, prayer, Bible study and fellowship. Each group normally considers  a service project in the community or the church.



Semester based groups meet September - November and February - April with an optional summer semester.  Semester groups follow a similar format to TLC groups but have a starting and stopping time. 



You are invited to participate in a faith sharing small group of your choice to grow in God’s Word and God’s grace as you form relationships that nurture faith, relationships and put God’s grace into action by loving one another and our neighbors. 



Jesus: The Ultimate Connector

“His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross.”  Ephesians 2:15b-16 NIV
