Find Community and Purpose in Grace Presbytery Adult Gatherings
Involvement in a faith community abounds with opportunities for both growth and connections, and Grace Presbytery adult groups are no exception. Programs aims are to Help Adults at Every Level in Their Spiritual Growth. The mission of these programs is to nourish relationships and inspire participation in meaningful outreach events for adults.
The community of adults is one of the strongest aspects of Grace Presbytery gatherings. They can grow with each other through small group discussions, Bible studies and some social events that are geared to building up learning and relationships. It is an opportunity for adults to share experiences, to journey deeper into their faith and develop lifelong friendships with individuals of similar beliefs.
Teaching is a key part of the Grace Presbytery adult programs. Attendees participate in Bible-based teaching, theological dialogue and practical workshops where spiritual truth is taken from theory to practice. Themes may address personal growth, leadership, family, and service, offering adults material to help enrich both their faith life as well as their place in the community at large.
For Grace Presbytery adults, Service and outreach are also chief concerns. Youth are encouraged to engage in service projects, mission trips and community service activities that put faith into action. These projects not only benefit the local area, but also promote values of compassion, generosity and stewardship which are at the heart of what Presbytery stands for.
Grace Presbytery adults also enjoy social and recreational opportunities. Throughout the year, seasonal opportunities for retreats and fellowship enable adults to enjoy times of relaxation, camaraderie and faith celebration with their fellow believers. These are the kinds of ways to bond participants with each other and weave a rich web of support.
Above all, Grace Presbytery adults and children are involved with more than just the spiritual aspect of one’s life –they become more involved in the community and feel a greater sense of purpose. It is through learning, fellow shipping and serving that adults discover how to deepen faith, serve the community and connect with other like-minded people who are committed to a life lived by spiritual values. By joining these projects, faith becomes something far more inclusive and shared than individual, paving the way to a purposeful experience.
