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 at Granite City Church connect us with others who can help us live as honest, maturing, and thriving Christians. From Bible study to discipleship, from friendship to service, each of the groups described below will help you grow as a follower of Jesus within your local church. Join one today!

On Thursday evenings a group of men meet to encourage one another and grow in faith as men of God. We hope to create a space where men can connect and share topics that are helpful to our faith journey, especially those that may be difficult to discuss in mixed groups.
We acknowledge that some men with kids cannot physically join the group on Thursday evenings. On the first Thursday of each month, Chris will lead an online session for fathers to connect for a time of fellowship while the rest of the group meets at church in person to fellowship and pray for each other. The Men's Group will meet until June 25th and then go on hiatus for the summer.

To be announced
Alpha is designed to engage people from all walks of life and inspire conversation. We'll explore the big issues of life and faith and unpack the basics of Christian belief, addressing questions like “Who is Jesus?”, “Why and how do I pray?”, and “How does God guide us?” All sessions start with a shared meal and time of connection. You'll have an opportunity to hear from others and contribute/share in a judgment-free environment. Fill out our form to find out when the next Alpha session is due to begin.
