Grace Gathered

Made in His image, we are made to worship by reflecting God's goodness and character back to Him. Unfortunately, living in a sinful world, it is much easier to reflect the idols of our hearts and the things around us than to reflect godly character. Dive into the conversation with us as we talk about slaying idols, deconstructing what we have built up, and getting back to the basics of what we were made to do in God's original design.

For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): Genesis 1:26, Psalm 103:1.

Welcome Nicole Cannaday as she delivers a message about worship as a contagious weapon. She shares with us about worshipping through the good times and the hard times, about worshipping first, and (my personal favorite) about worshipping on behalf of and over each other. Worship for those who are struggling to worship; worship for your family; worship for your community, all for the glory of God. You can follow along with the Scripture in 2 Chronicles 20. We hope you take on the challenge alongside us to make worship a part of our everyday!

The next Gathering is on December 5th, 2025, and we hope you'll come worship, learn, and fellowship with us!

As we finish up the summer series on "In the World, but Not of It," join Stephanie and Claire in an honest, vulnerable reflection on summer. Exploring the idea that "we can do it all," we talk about God showing up in the gaps, mourning seasons that don't turn out as hoped for, and the glory in depending on Him. For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): 2 Corinthians 10:13 and 2 Corinthians 12:9.

Welcome to the Summer Series! Here in Season 3 we will be taking three phrases or ideas that are commonly used and running them through the filter of the Bible to see how they stand up to it.

Today, join us as we dive into a challenging conversation about femininity and feminism. Within this context, we challenge feminism as something that gives us a false sense of our own power and divides what God never divided in the examples set by Scripture. Together, through conversation, we challenge the ideas that have wormed their way into our lives and become a yoke, even as women of God.

For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): Ruth 1:16, Mark 16:1-3, Judges 4:10, Proverbs 31:10-31, and Ephesians 6:12.

Welcome to the Summer Series! Here in Season 3 we will be taking three phrases or ideas that are commonly used and run them through the filter of the Bible to see how they stand up to it! This month's topic is surrounding the idea of having each our own versions of the truth.

Our challenge is to uncover sneaky ways we may all be applying this idea to our lives, and to reveal that the very things we try to hide behind are the things Jesus came to deliver us from! Join Claire and Stephanie as they discuss what we know to be absolute truth, how truth cannot be bent to our whim or experience, and how even though truth is often the uncomfortable thing, it is the TRUTH that will set us free.

For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): John 14:6, John 1:1, John 17:17, Luke 9:23, and Matthew 7:13.

Join us as we hear from a panel of women from our Grace Community about different ways to live out the One Anothers of Scripture. Our hopes and prayers are that by sharing these with one another, committing them to conversation, we would go into the spaces around us with a mindset switch from "that's not a job for me," to, "I am equipped for this!" We hope this message encourages you in the Kingdom work God has for you, and that you'll join us for the next live event!

In this " get ahead" world, each of us take part in competition of one kind or another, but the Bible invites us to a different kind of competition, an upside-down competition where we are all the winners because God's Kingdom already has the victory! Join us in our series sendoff as we talk about how selfishness sneaks its way into each of our lives in ways we don't often recognize (though in words we often hear) and how showing each other honor is always accompanied by joy in our own lives!

For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie, Libbie, and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): Romans 12:10, 1 Samuel 24; Love One Another by Don McMinn, Living Out the One Anothers of Scripture, a 30-Day Devotional by Revive Our Hearts Ministries.

God has authored stories for each of us, but sometimes the important work is to be a support character! Join us as we talk about how to spur one another on by making space for each other, supporting the work of another, and creating opportunities for one another to do Kingdom work.

For further reading & reference, explore the following verses and literature (Stephanie, Libbie, and Claire are reading from the ESV, unless otherwise noted): Hebrews 10:24-25; Love One Another by Don McMinn, Living Out the One Anothers of Scripture, a 30-Day Devotional by Revive Our Hearts Ministries.

"Kantaneo is a Greek word that means to observe, consider, perceive, or understand1234. It is derived from the Greek words "kata" (meaning "down" or "against") and "noeó" (meaning "to perceive" or "to understand")"

Join us as we hear from Libbie about encouraging one another. In 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul is writing to encourage new believers to grow in godliness. He knew they had been exposed to false teaching, so with this in mind, Paul taught them that growth would be motivated by their hope in the return of Jesus. This applies to us, too! What inspires change is living a life consistently walking in the power of God’s Spirit. Godly encouragement brings comfort to the sorrowful, awakens the inactive, and strengthens the faint-hearted. We hope this message encourages you in the Kingdom work God has for you, and that you'll join us for the next live event!

Everyone knows what it means to encourage one another... right? Join us as we compare the world's version to the Kingdom version. In this episode we share conversation around how we are in the training period before Jesus comes back, and how these ideas are our tools, our armor and equipment. These are three powerful ways to invest in the Kingdom and truly Love One Another!
