Donation Drive for Kids First

In September and October we will have a donation drive for our local missions partners, Kids First. Kids First is a ministry in Athens to disciple families by meeting a portion of their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. We will collect snack sized potato chips and squeeze applesauce for Kids First. Please leave donations in the bin located at the Welcome Center in the front lobby. You can also join us in praying for Kids First and their leader, Lawson Boling. Thank you for giving!

Women's Ministry:  How to Study the Bible

 Have you ever wanted to better understand God's Word and study the Bible with greater confidence? This fall, join us for a 10-week "How to Study the Bible" class and learn practical tools to observe, interpret, and apply Scripture in a deeper and more meaningful way.

We will be offering two class options this fall. One on Wednesday mornings (time to be determined)  and the same class on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm.

Cost: $20 per person

Grief Share

GriefShare is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week support group you will discover what to expect in your journey through grief, and what is “normal” in grief. You will also learn some helpful ways to cope with grief, in all the unpredictability, and gain support each step of the way. In the GriefShare support group you will experience all the emotions from tears to laughter. Most importantly you will gain a support group that will be with you each step of the way. While we are not experts in the field, we have experienced our share of grief and the positive outcomes from participating in GriefShare. We would be honored to share this support with any and all who are in the midst of a grief journey. Open to ages 18 and older, male and female.

Grace Students:  Fall Retreat

Fall Retreat is more than just a weekend event—it’s an opportunity for students to build friendships, grow in their faith, and experience the power of community. In a world where students can easily feel disconnected, this weekend gives them space to unplug, have fun, and build meaningful relationships! Our hope is that every student comes home refreshed, strengthened, and more connected than when they left. Sign up for Grace Students Fall Retreat – September 18th – 19th!

Registration is $75

Child Dedication

Dedicating our children to the Lord is an important act of worship and step of faith. It is through this dedication that parents publicly proclaim their faith in Christ and their commitment to pass their faith on to their children. We will have our Child Dedication on Sunday, September 27th during both services. Families with children of all ages are invited to be a part.
