Discipleship at City Grace

Growing Together

Following Jesus is a journey we take together. At City Grace, discipleship happens through deep relationships, shared life, and communities where you belong.

Our Approach

What We Mean By Discipleship

Jesus didn’t just call people to believe—he called them to follow. And he gave them each other for the journey.

In Community

Spiritual formation happens best with others—not in isolation, not through information alone, but through lived experience.

Over Time

The slow, faithful work of sharing life with people who are also becoming more like Jesus—in every season.

With Purpose

A place to belong, to be honest, and to become who God made you to be—not a program, but a family.

You were made to grow with others.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”

— Hebrews 10:24-25

Community Groups

The heart of how we grow together

Community Groups are the foundation of discipleship at City Grace.

These are small gatherings of 8-15 people who meet regularly in homes throughout the week. They share meals, study Scripture, pray for one another, and do life together—in every season.

This isn’t a Bible study to attend. It’s a family to belong to.

In Community Groups, you’ll find people who remember your prayer requests, celebrate your wins, and sit with you in the hard seasons. You’ll be challenged to grow, and you’ll challenge others. You’ll experience the kind of gospel-centered friendships that change everything.

Why this matters for discipleship:

Following Jesus transforms every part of life—and that transformation happens best when we’re known, loved, and walking alongside others who are on the same journey.

Ministries Across Every Season

From childhood through adulthood, we offer communities designed to help you grow in faith alongside others in your season of life.

Kids Ministry

Laying foundations that last a lifetime

From nursery through elementary school, kids experience age-appropriate teaching, worship, and community. They learn the big story of the Bible—creation, fall, rescue, and restoration—and how Jesus invites them into it. We partner with parents, equipping families to continue the conversation at home.

When kids encounter Jesus and learn to follow Him from an early age, they build a foundation that shapes the rest of their lives.

Middle School

Finding identity in a formative season

Middle school is a season of questions. Who am I? Where do I belong? Our Middle School Ministry creates a space where students can wrestle with those questions honestly—and find their identity in Christ. This isn’t just games and pizza. It’s a community where students are known by name and challenged to grow.

By meeting students where they are, we help them see that following Jesus isn’t something they inherit—it’s a faith they can own.

High School

Owning faith and preparing for what’s next

Our High School Ministry focuses on helping students move from inherited faith to owned faith. Through teaching that doesn’t shy away from hard questions, small groups that build real friendships, and opportunities to serve, students are equipped to follow Jesus in every area of life. We take students seriously—giving them real responsibility, not just participation trophies.

Students who own their faith in high school are far more likely to continue walking with Jesus through college and beyond.

Young Adults

Community for a season of transition

Adulthood is a lot to navigate—but you don’t have to do it in isolation. Our Young Adults community (20s–early 30s) is built on honest conversation and a shared pursuit of Jesus. Whether you’re established in a career or just trying to find your footing, come find a place where you’re known by name and encouraged in your faith.

Young adulthood shapes the trajectory of the rest of life. Having a gospel-centered community during this season establishes patterns of faith that endure.

The Journey Is Better Together

Following Jesus was never meant to be something we do alone. Whether it’s in a Community Group, a ministry where your kids encounter the gospel, or a Young Adults gathering where faith meets real life—there’s a place for you and your family here. Scroll back up, find the community that fits your season, and take your next step.
