Growth Groups and Events
Some of us have found our way to Grace because of its reputation for nurturing faith according to individual life journeys and spiritual gifts. All of us have stayed at Grace for that same reason.
Pastor Michael is a gifted spiritual coach, enabler and encourager. We are never pressured to grow in our journey with Jesus in any particular direction or pace. Instead, it's about paying attention to what God is saying to us, learning to hear his voice and becoming more courageous as we follow him. There is no cookie cutter approach here at Grace.
Because God knows us and loves us as individuals, his call will be different, personal, for every one of us, and our journey with Jesus will be unique. So, here at Grace you'll find a range of opportunities to grow. We're sure you'll find something that's just right for you.

Worship on Sundays
Worship at Grace (Sundays at 9.30am) follows a regular structure but is informal and relaxed. It's relational and interactive. Most Sundays we celebrate the Lord's Supper, and there is often opportunity for private prayer afterwards. You can join us for worship in person (COVID sign-in and social distancing in place) or via Zoom. Click here to connect with us via Zoom (Password: Grace).
Life Groups
Many of our Grace community belong to small home gatherings that we call Life Groups. They help us to develop deeper relationships with each other in a more intimate environment than our larger worship space on Sunday allows. Life Group members work out what they would like to study or discuss. The members look out for for each other in times of need and pray for each other. They are a special way of 'doing life together' as sons and daughters in God's family.
'Truth Healing & Release' Prayer Ministry
Throughout our lives we can have experiences that wound us and hold us captive. We struggle to deal with emotions such as fear, guilt, anger and rejection. These things can affect our relationships with others and with God. Through this prayer ministry, we seek to partner with Jesus as he ministers his truth, healing and release. This ministry operates in a confidential space with trained team members, under the supervision of Pastor Michael.
G@P (Grace at Prayer)
It's great to know that when life throws us a curve ball, we are not alone. God is with us, and there's no better way to experience that than when people are praying for us, carrying us to the mercy seat of God. At Grace we have a team who pray for our members and their friends in times of crisis, trouble, fear or worry - and in times of rejoicing too. Email Pastor Michael if you would like to join our prayer team or if you would like to be prayed for, in total confidence.
W@Gs (Women at Grace)
W@Gs is open to all women of Grace and their friends. Usually we focus on a book which we read, chapter by chapter, and then discuss together. We look for books or study guides that will inspire, encourage and equip us to grow in our relationship with God, hear his voice and follow him. Along the way, we share our stories and pray for each other as we navigate life's ups and downs.
GPS (Grace Positioning Support)
GPS (Grace Positioning Support) Zoom Group meets to share life together, particularly to cope during trying times. We look at strategies together with God’s word and prayer, as well as sharing our struggles and joys. If you need encouragement, especially if you struggle with depression or anxiety, please join our Zoom group. We meet fortnightly.
'Adventurous Discipleship' Workshops
Have you ever thought that there has to be more to your life with God than you‘re experiencing now? Is there something (or Somebody?) niggling at you, calling you to step into something more, into the 'abundant life', into a life of adventure with Jesus? If you‘re feeling that niggle, one (or all) of these workshops might be for you. There will be more information coming here soon. In the meantime, email Pastor Michael for details.
Short Courses & Studies
From time to time Pastor Michael runs short courses, based on books or study guides, designed to stretch us in our personal journey with Jesus. For participants to gain the best experience from these studies, numbers are restricted to around ten to twelve. These short courses are popular and often book out quickly. To find out when the next course will be held, subscribe to our Grace Communique.
You are welcome to join us at any of our spiritual growth groups or events. But do contact Pastor Michael first, so he can guide you towards the path that might be best for you.
