The study materials employed by Life Groups at Grace are to be approved by the Connections Coordinator in advance. Please allow 6-8 weeks for the review and approval process. Preauthorized studies are included below. Life Group leaders are responsible for keeping the Connections Coordinator up-to-date with what study their group is engaged in.

Life Groups are always authorized to use a biblical text or the Grace Community Church sermon notes/questions as their study materials.

Below you will find study guides produced by Grace staff or members that also can be used by Life Groups at any time. 

Below is a list of study curricula that have been approved for use in current and/or past groups. Please note that approval does not necessarily indicate that Grace Community Church supports or agrees with all theological positions put forward by the study. Rather, it indicates that the study is rooted in Scripture, deals with a question or topic that is edifying to faith, and is based on appropriate scholarly and/or pastoral consensus. Put more plainly, it is a source that is reasonably trustworthy in what it presents.
