God created us to be incomplete as individuals. Our hearts have an emptiness that can only be filled through both a relationship with God, and relationships with others. To that end, we need each other to fulfill what God wants us to become.

At Grace Point, we believe that a successful church brings God’s people together in relationships with a mission. That mission is to love God and love others to God. That’s where “Link-Up” comes in!

How can I Link-Up? Linking-Up is all about developing friendships that can: Encourage you Inspire you Offer you accountability Give you a sense of purpose Journey with you through life Let God work through you to minister to others

As building friends comes in steps, so does Linking-Up; here are many different possibilities that can help you Link-Up and live out what God designed for you.

Expand your view of Sunday morning – Don’t just think of attending church as coming to a building to hear a sermon, sing songs, and then leave.   Look for opportunities to connect with people.

 Café and our Sunday morning classes are designed as a first step to linking up.  So whether you come to our 1st or 2nd service, here are some options to consider.

Grace Point Café  
Held in the Ministry Center from 9:30 – 10:00 AM on Sundays, Café is a great place to meet new people or catch up with those you already know.  Snacks and beverages are also available during Café. 

Join a small community of people. We have a variety of groups with different purposes. Look through the different types of groups, find one that looks interesting, and try it out. If the first one you try is not a good fit, maybe the second one you try out will be a great fit. Just like with friendship, different people will naturally connect with different groups. Below, you will find some general information about our groups.

For those who are already Linked-up, it is time to consider taking the next step. Commit yourself to helping others link-up in the same way you have. Branch out by beginning a new service, care, growth, or common interest group.

Please call Jon Knapp at (503)639-3913 with any questions you may have.

On a periodic basis, Pastor Steve leads classes that are helpful to people just starting out.  They are:  Membership, Christian Life Maturity, Ministry, and Missions.

Care Groups
Numerous groups meet regularly to meet your specific needs. Whether you are just beginning a family or are an empty nester, we have a group for you.

These groups are designed to help you walk through life together. Some groups spend time in study, while others just enjoy being together.

Growth Groups
If you are looking to grow in your knowledge, and relationship with Jesus, get involved in one of our weekly Bible studies.

Common Interest Groups—Outreach Focused
Have you ever considered that God gave you a hobby or an interest for more than just your enjoyment, but so that you can connect with others, and use it to build God’s kingdom? We seek to bring people together who share common interest, have them pursue people who don’t go to church but share their interest, and have relationships build with people in the community were we are able to share the love of Jesus to them.
