Thursday Evening Classes - 7:00-8:30p
Welcome! We offer a wide variety of ministries designed to speak to every need and every stage of life. So whether you are single, a family with kids, raising teens, young marrieds, empty nesters, or boomers and beyondGrace has a place for you. Ministries are a place to connect with others, build lasting relationships, grow spiritually, and serve others. Events, small groups, and Bible studies provide a place for everyone to grow in their walk with God and build lasting relationships. Our outreaches to the Greater Houston area and around the world make a difference in lives every day. VISION & VALUES Grace Church exists as a local expression of the Body of Christ to share with our world God’s love as revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ, and to pursue a vital, living relationship with the Lord and one another, in the power of the Holy Spirit. GRACE VALUES Our values govern how we gather together as a congregation, what we provide in the way of ministry programs and where we invest our resources – both physical and financial. Not listed in order of importance, each of these values form a part of what we envision Grace to be. • Prayer is the foundation of all we do. • We believe that every person is valuable to God and His Kingdom. • The normal Christian life is for every believer to be fully devoted to Christ and His cause. • As people birthed into His Kingdom, we should be authentic followers of Christ continuing to grow in Him by learning His way, manifesting His power, and serving our world. • We believe that every member is a minister called to a servant’s heart; investing his or her time, talent and resources for the cause of Christ. • God actively demonstrated His heart for lost people and we should also by intentionally reaching out to others. We believe that the most effective evangelism happens through people inviting people. • Everyone should be involved in a small group where community happens. • We embrace our city in all of its diversity, both ethnically and economically, by every means possible resulting in ministry that impacts our city. • We recognize the heart of God to transform cities and actively support the city-reaching process in the context of the larger body of Christ. • We have a worldwide calling. Therefore, we partner with other ministries throughout the world in proclaiming the message of Jesus. • We are committed to honoring God and using our gifts and resources for maximum impact by ministering with excellence.

Our desire is that your experience in these classes will be a catalyst for spiritual growth in your daily life. A description of each class can be found here in our Grace Directory. Why Attend A Grace Equip Class? Grace Equip fosters an environment that enables you to hear from God - the most critical piece of growing spiritually. All of our classes, regardless of topic, are designed to be revelational - not for you to simply hear new information, but rather that you hear from Him. In the process of hearing God, He will help you grow in your spiritual life and become “unstuck” in your spiritual progress. Setting aside time to attend an Equip Class will offer you well-grounded, biblical teaching and the opportunity to hear from God which will introduce you to a whole new level of transformation. Which Equip Class Is For You? At our Woodlands Campus, Grace Equip Classes will be offered on Monday mornings from 10:00a-12:00p and Thursday evenings from 7:00-9:00p to fit into the busiest of schedules. Beginning the week of September 14th, classes will be offered from 1-10 weeks in length. Simply determine your availability, review the class schedule, and register to get involved. We understand you may not be able to attend every class, but missing one does not mean you have to miss them all. Register online at www.gracewoodlands.tv.

DESCRIPTION: Anthem Outs are an extension of Anthem Small Groups that meet once a month. This is a great way for students to connect with one another outside of a normal Anthem worship experience. Each Anthem Out involves a time of fellowship and fun, with a portion of time dedicated to teaching and discussion based off of the current teaching series being given that month. They also serve as a great opportunity for students to invite their friends and get them plugged in relationally with other students outside a normal church environment.
