Sunday Gathering
On Sunday mornings, we  gather at the Galaxy Theatre on the corner of 2nd Ave. and 20th St. in the downtown of Saskatoon.  There is plenty of free parking on the street in front of the Galaxy.

Sunday gatherings are only one aspect of our being church. Our community groups meet throughout the week in both formal and informal ways in order to foster life together on mission. Community Groups: are local communities of believers in Jesus who live out the mission of Jesus together. We don’t go to church. We are the Church. We want people to experience church as a network of relationships rather than simply a meeting you attend or a place you enter.

Community Groups

Being involved in community is critical to being the Church rather than simply “attending” church. Community groups are different from “small groups” or “mid-week Bible studies” that function as a program in the church; for us, they are the church. At the heart of Grace Fellowship are local assemblies of believers in Jesus who live out the mission of Jesus together.

Q. What is a Community Group?
A. The purpose of Community Groups is to connect and grow authentic relationships with God, our brothers and sisters, and our neighbors.  Community Groups function as one of the main ways for the church body to become like family. In Community Groups, people talk through life issues, eat together, pray together, laugh together, serve others together, etc.

Q. Why are Community Groups so important to Grace Fellowship?
A. We intentionally say that getting connected means participating in both the Sunday gatherings and a Community Group. Sundays are a time for celebrating in worship together, getting sound teaching of the Word of God, and sharing in Communion. Smaller Groups aid in building relationships with one another and living life together. Both types of gatherings meet different needs in the spiritual health of the Church as well as individually, which is why we emphasize both.

Q. What does a typical Community Group meeting involve?
A. A typical meeting involves time for food, conversation, prayer, and discussion for applying the Bible to practical living. Many Community Groups have periodic special events such as barbeques or parties.

Q. I’m not/don’t know if I’m a Christian. Can I attend a Community Group?
A. Definitely. Joining a Community Group is a great way to find out more about Jesus and see what Christians are like. If you have questions, we can help you process through them.

Q. Are my children welcome to attend the Group?
A. We love the idea of families attending a Group together. Plans for accomodating children vary from Group to Group.

Q. How big is each group?
A. Groups are designed to be small enough for members to get to know each other well. When a Group grows to a size of approximately 12-16 people, they are strongly encouraged to focus on planting a new Group out of the original Group.
