We all need someone to spur us on, to remind us of God's love and faithfulness, and to sit beside us through the highs and lows of life. Small groups connect us with others who can help us live as honest, maturing, and thriving Christians. Each of the groups described below will help you grow as a follower of Jesus. Join one today!

This is an interactive study where we will be diving into season 1 of the TV series The Chosen. We will watch an episode and have a discussion about it on alternating weeks using the guide “What Does It Mean To Be Chosen?” This will be a predominantly virtual study, however feel free to join another group member for a “watch party” on days where we will be watching an episode. This will be a "low-impact" study so newcomers are welcome!

Group Leader
Kathleen Sharkey
The Women's Group at Granite City aims to embrace our sisterhood in Christ and explore what it means to encourage each other to know God and His purposes for us in the world. This semester we are excited to use Jennie Allen’s “Get Out of Your Head: A Study in Philippians” to engage with Paul's letter to the Philppian church. With Jennie as our guide, we'll ask what the Bible has to say about toxic-thinking patterns and what it means to be a person whose mind is set solely on Christ. The study guide can be found here: Get Out of Your Head. We will use the guide and accompanying videos to spark discussion and sharing. Our group will meet primarily via ZOOM with occasional in-person meetings.

This is an informal group — currently 20 people are signed-up for the email list, and typically 5-7 attend on any given month.
