GraceAffinity Groups
While we aim to be one unified body of Christ, we recognize the diversity in our unity and acknowledge that groups of people have different shared experiences and needs. Our church community fosters small gatherings meant to meet specific, particular needs that require more focused attention and support. Some are led by church pastors and leaders, while others are led by Grace Downtown members who have wrestled with God over these issues and been gifted with wisdom and experience to share.
Information on current and upcoming groups can be found below:
