Communities @ Grace
Communities @ Grace are small groups of 10-12 adults who gather weekly or bi-weekly to grow in relationship with each other, and are committed to helping each other grow in their relationship with God. The foundation of all Communities is the love and grace that God has for us, and the extension of that to our Community.
Groups are going to relaunch in October!

Grief Share
GriefShare: Hope and healing after the death of a loved one.

At GriefShare, you’ll find a safe, comforting place where you can talk with others about your grief. You’ll find support, direction and guidance on how to make it through.
We’re offering GriefShare at Grace Community Church starting again in February. This is a 13 week group, and you can join at any time. If you’d like to sign up, register with the button below.

SAVE THE DATE!
2024 MEN'S ROUNDUP

Featuring John Lynch (Speaker) & Jason Winters (Musician)
As a result of this weekend, we envision that God will impact men in a variety of ways by moving them to: come to faith in Christ, connect with each other and their local church, live in obedience to Christ, and foster leadership in their marriages, families, churches, and communities.
ICPDX Luncheon & Celebration
4 years ago, a dream birthed from an east county pastor's prayer conference to see the local church welcome immigrants in a practical way. Since then, Immigrant Connection PDX (ICPDX) has now served over 800+ immigrants with church-based, low-cost, immigration legal services resulting in hundreds of foreign-born individuals receiving green cards, petitioning family members, becoming naturalized citizens, among a host of other immigration benefits.
Join us Saturday, May 18 from 11:30a - 2p at Grace Community Church(800 SE Hogan Rd, Gresham, OR 97080) for a Taco Bar catered by La Mixteca to celebrate the immigrants of our community and the role ICPDX and our various church partners have played in building bridges for a hope-filled future through church-based, low-cost immigration legal services.
Encouraging Women
Encouraging Women is an opportunity for women at Grace to gather and be encouraged by women who have gone before and have wisdom to share. This also gives women the ability to connect with other women at the church in a comfortable environment.
Encouraging Women is on the 3rd Thursday of every month, at the Landolt’s Home.

Discovering the truth about the Bible, Jesus, and why it matters.
