spring connect groups

Our Spring Connect Groups vary from diving right into the Bible, others utilize video teachings, and some are community and/or event based groups. A Connect Group is the place to start looking for your community. View the groups below and join one HERE.

study groups

  • Community bible study

    Community is one of the greatest tools for growth in the life of a believer. Our group gathers weekly to share our lives with one another, to grow together in our friendships and our relationships with God through Bible study, prayer, fellowship, group activities, and service opportunities. We will begin with a study of Matthew, diving more deeply into Bible texts covered in Sunday sermons.


    MEETS: Fridays at 7PM, January-March

    LOCATION: Bel Air

    LEADERS: Judson and Debbie Kadow, Ed and June Naus

    CONTACT: Ed: ejnaus@yahoo.com

  • FAITH LINK: God's DEEPEST TRUTHS-BROUGHT TO LIFE

    Sometimes it seems like today’s culture is constantly challenging our faith. Without an understanding of the Bible’s core truths, how can you have confidence to share and defend your faith? Learn Bible Engagement teaches you how to dig into the depth of what Scripture teaches and shows you how to discover what the Bible's truths mean for your everyday life, and gives you the understanding and confidence you need to share your faith with others. This Fall we are studying: Why is the Bible relevant to me? Who is God the Father? Who is Jesus?


    The Bible Engagement Project is a discipleship system built to strengthen families and relationships, deepen knowledge and appreciation of scripture, and to root your family in God’s Word. If you have children in Grace Kids, they will be learning the same scripture each week as our class but on their level making it easier to continue the conversation and discipleship process at home.  


    MEETS:  Sundays, 9:30AM

  • Men’s Study: Win the Battle of Your Mind

    Join us for a six session book and video study by Chris Hodge’s and learn how to experience a dynamic, intimate prayer life with God. In this study you’ll gain the understanding and tools to make prayer work--and bring the joy back into your time with God; take a journey through the prayers of the Bible, which reveal how to make prayer more personal and powerful; learn about fasting, an often overlooked but powerful discipline that's a vital companion to prayer; and follow proven, biblically grounded methods for making prayer a priority, not an afterthought. 

    Study Workbook: $10, Optional Book: $10


    MEETS: Saturdays 8:00 AM-9:00 AM, beginning 2/25

  • Sisters by Grace

    How can we hold on to assurance of our faith? How can we discern the truth from a lie? How can we know God loves us? In these three short letters, the apostle John reminds an early church facing division, deception, and doubt to hold fast to what they know and to live like they believe it. And he reminds us, as well. In this 10-session Bible study on the letters of 1, 2, and 3 John, Jen Wilkin helps you see how two thousand years later, his words call to Christians in similar challenges to recall a great salvation and to abide in the truth. Women are invited to join us for study of 1, 2, and 3 John, worship, prayer, and community. Book Cost with Video Access $25

  • Find You People Study

    Women, all to often we’re tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because our relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others is crucial to our mental and spiritual health. In the Find Your People video Bible study, Jennie Allen looks at the original community in Genesis, the Trinity, and the creation of people to see what God had planned for us all along.

  • Foster the Family Harford County Support Group

    We are partnering with Foster the Family to mobilize and equip the church to support foster families in Harford County. Foster children fall under every category established in Psalm 82:3-5. They are weak. They are —at least functionally—fatherless. They’ve been afflicted. They are destitute. They are needy. There is another category of people in these verses, though: The people of God whom He speaks directly to. The ones who are to give justice, maintain rights, rescue, and deliver. Us. All throughout Scripture we find the call to care for orphaned and vulnerable children. The orphan, the fatherless, the vulnerable are close to God’s heart, and caring for them is a function of being a follower of Christ.


    You can support local foster families by: 

    • Volunteering to serve in childcare during the monthly support group meetings hosted by Grace. Training is provided by Foster the Family. 
    • Donating refreshments for the foster mom support group meetings.
    • Volunteering to organize the blessing closet.
    • Sharing Foster the Family Support Group info with foster/adoptive mom and prospective foster moms.The monthly support group includes short topical training and guided discussion for foster and adoptive moms.
