GraceYouth   |   Middle & High School 

Our vision at GraceYouth is simple. Know. Grow. Go. We want all our students to know the gospel, grow in their understanding of it, and then go into the world to serve and share that good news with others. We have a decades long legacy of an intentional and growing youth ministry here on the Central Coast and by God’s grace and power we plan to maintain that for the decades to come.


Gatherings

We have one mid-week and two Sunday morning gatherings. We meet Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30pm to have fun, connect with each other, and study God’s Word. On Sundays we sit together during the 9:30am main service in front of the tech booth for worship through music and learning from God’s Word with the larger church family. Then at 11am we head downstairs to “The Basement” for youth group. We spend that time connecting, playing a quick game, and then discussing what we learned in main service and how it applies to the way we live our lives everyday. Both our High School (9th-12th) and Middle School (7th-8th) students meet during this time. Have a question? Let us know by clicking the box below. Don’t forget to click the calendar link on the left for our most recent quarterly calendars. We hope to see you soon!

Living Life Together  

What is a Growth Group?

Simply put, it's the best way to get involved and grow in your faith here at Grace.

They let us know and be known by others as we experience living the Gospel together. We truly believe that Gospel transformation happens in the context of small groups where real relationships can be experienced and deepened.

So how do they work and what are they for?

Growth Groups are the primary place for discipleship in the life of our church. They are small groups of people who meet weekly and focus on 3 identities as we help people find and follow Jesus together.

1. Family.  Because we are a part of God's family and adopted by God our Father, we seek to be the family of God together. Being a family means growing in our faith together, praying with and for one another, and caring for each other like a family. Sometimes that means sharing a meal or watching someone's kids or celebrating a birthday. 

2. Servant.  Because we were served by Jesus to the point of his death on the cross for us, we seek to serve others in our group and our larger community. We encourage each of our groups to find a place in our community that they can adopt and begin to show the love of Jesus through service. 

3. Missionary.  Because we are given the same Holy Spirit as the early disciples and Jesus himself, we too are God's missionaries and witnesses in the world. We believe that mission is most effective when done by a family of servants. We don't want to send lonely missionaries into our communities and workplaces, but rather groups of committed people who love one another and show that to the world around them.

EXPLORE GROWTH GROUPS

Is it worth it? Here is what people at Grace are saying about
Growth Groups.

“When I first came to Grace in 2008 I knew one person, my sister. After a number of months, my wife and I joined a Growth Group of complete strangers. We were in that group for 5 years and now those people are some of our best friends. It literally changed our lives. We now lead a young marrieds group at our home in SLO where we get to live life together and help couples navigate the early years of marriage. Growth Groups are a must. You can't afford not to join one.” - Pastor Miles Nelson

“​I'm at home most of the time with 4 little ones and it can be hard to get out and fellowship. by having a weekly meeting I am forced to be in community with others and no matter how difficult it is to prepare for, it is always worth it and I always feel blessed at the end of the night. Growth groups have given me friends in a season of life when meeting new people and developing relationships can be challenging.” - Jenny Nanninga, Young Marrieds Growth Group Leader

“​Growth Groups are a great way to divert my thinking from all the tasks at hand, slow down and grow in my knowledge and love of God. It's also a great way to build relationships with the other believers involved.” - Dayton Muxlow, Cal Poly student, and College Co-Ed Growth Group Leader

Summer Seminars begin on June 16th. Feel free to jump in anytime.

The Great Hope for God’s Church: A Study of Revelation 12-22
9:30 AM | Fireside Room | June 16th - September 15th

Chapters 12-22 lead us into some of the most thrilling text in the entire Bible, giving us a glimpse into the seven bowl judgments, the Beast, and the future tribulation, but also bringing us great hope for God's Church and all of the glories awaiting the faithful. 

Money, Possessions, & Eternity
9:30 AM | Founder's Hall A | June 16th - September 15th

What does the Bible really say about money? In this seminar, we'll read through Randy Alcorn's book as he uses the Scriptures to approach this often touchy subject head-on.

We are women of every age and stage in life, who desire to grow and be more like Jesus.

Grow

GraceSLO has ongoing Bible Studies offered from September through May each year. This is a great way to learn more about God, start a relationship with Him, and grow in strength and wisdom, in His Word.

• GraceSLO Thursday Morning Bible Study
  On Thursday mornings from September to May, Grace Women offers a bible study from 10 am to 12 pm weekly at the Grace SLO campus. We enjoy worship, fellowship, good teaching, great coffee and a top-notch children's program. For more information or to sign up, please click This Link, or contact our Women's Director, Lindsey Noland, at 543-2358 x 118.
   

• Women in Prayer 
  For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:20 
  There is a group of ladies that meet to pray for one another, the church, our community, etc. It is a rich time of prayer together.  For more information contact our Women's Director, Lindsey Noland, at 543-2358 x 118.

Connect

• Women's Events
  Women’s Mentoring Evening events are designed to be a relaxed, fun, and an encouraging time where women choose to sit at tables according to subjects that intrigue them and spend time with a mentor table leader talking about the subject at hand (working women, parenting, marriage, divorce, spiritual life, etc.). It is a great way to get to know other women in our church community and gain insight and encouragement in our lives. And besides that, we have prizes, great food, and laughter! Sign up to be a part of our Women's Ministries mailing list to find out about our next event! ​

• MOPS
  MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, and by preschoolers, we mean kiddos from birth through kindergarten. We know it’s a little confusing so let’s just stick with “MOPS.” We believe that incubating hearts and giving just-because-hugs can change the course of history. That’s why we connect moms all over the world to a community of women, in their own neighborhoods, who meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood. MOPS groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped and to find our identity by journeying alongside one another. They meet monthly at the Grace SLO campus. Email Lindsey for more information, or click on This Link to Register.

• Mom's in Prayer
  This is a prayer ministry of moms who gather together to pray for their children, their schools, their teachers, and administration.  The parents of Middle School and High School students prayer group meets Wednesday mornings at SLO First Baptist Church from 8:30-9:45 am.  Email at Molly Zagrodney, molly.zagrodny@gmail.com for more information, or click on This Link to join the group.

Men's Ministry

Not more, but strategic. 

Our vision is to equip men for servant leadership in the home and church.   We believe relationships between men are critical to this process.  Our priority for men is that they would get involved in Growth Groups (with their wives, if they have one).  Beyond Growth Groups, we seek to challenge men toward leadership and godliness, not through an overwhelming array of activities and events that pull them away from their families, but through a few strategic gatherings, weekly morning studies for men and sports stuff.

Here's a list of current Men's events, studies and sports stuff. . .

Events for Men

Men's Huddles: Our MEN'S HUDDLES are a time for all men – dads, sons, married, single, young or old – to hang out with each other! Join us for a time of fellowship, BBQ and games at our next Huddle.  If you have any questions you can email Pastor Ken at ken@graceslo.org.

Men's Getaways: Our MEN'S GETAWAYS are a time of relaxation and spiritual growth for men at every stage of life. In the past, we've spent a weekend away at Bass Lake - hiking, biking, connecting and diving into God's Word. Mark your calendars for our next Getaway on OCTOBER 20-22, 2017. More information to come!

Grace Seniors Ministry

We have folks in their 50’s through their 90’s involved in ministry here at Grace who are a sweet blessing and a key part of our body. While the definition of Seniors today is not an easy one to figure out, those in their 50's and above are welcome to join our Grace Seniors ministry. We look to find ways for our Seniors to enjoy fellowship together as well as to encourage them in their ministry to our church and community. We want to challenge our seniors to be connecting, growing, mentoring, serving, reaching out & enjoying life together.

 

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

Young Adults

Post-College & Young Married, without Kids

One of the groups offered here at Grace is for our Young Adults.  Whether you just graduated college, are settled in a career or are just figuring it out, we'd love to have you join us anytime you can.  We seek to bring this group together to provide opportunities to connect, worship and serve together as a sweet part of our GraceCentralCoast community.  We have a couple Young Adult Growth Groups that meet weekly, connecting over sermon-based discussions in a home environment.  Growth Groups are active from the fall through the spring.

What is God's Storehouse at GraceSLO?

Firstfruits Farms

The Mission

Firstfruits Farm is dedicated to growing high-quality produce and distributing it to the economically disadvantaged in our community. More than 800 families receive food from the farm each week, distributed through God's Storehouse and other locations throughout our community. There are many generous donors who provide food to God's Storehouse, the Food Bank, and other community organizations. Often, however, the food that is donated is 'seconds,' leftover, expired, or wilted.  Additionally, much of the donated food is packaged and processed. The need for fresh, wholesome fruits and vegetables is readily apparent. We desire to put our hands to the soil and bless our neighbors who struggle to make ends meet with our 'firstfruits' - the best our land can provide. Beginning in 2013, Firstfruits was generously allowed use of private land for this work, first on Serpa Ranch Road and now also for the current main site at the Alpha Academy location on Buckley Road. At both locations, the soil has been cultivated and nurtured, teams gathered and set to work, and we have been providing free produce to the community ever since.​ Learn more about Firstfruits Farm at their website HERE.

Homeless Shelter Ministries

Serving the homeless is a great way to reach out with the love of Christ to the most needy in our community. You can help serve the homeless by volunteering for the Overflow Homeless Shelter at GraceSLO or by serving meals at the Homeless Shelter.

Overflow Homeless Shelter
Serving the Homeless women and children of the SLO community is a great way to reach out with the love of Christ. This year, 2018, we are hosting the “Women’s Overflow Shelter,” at Grace SLO during the month of July. You can help out by volunteering to stay overnight at Grace, serving breakfast or being a “Good Neighbor.”  Overnight volunteers arrive at 7pm and help by greeting the women and children when they arrive, playing with kids, holding babies, or talking with a mom. Two volunteers work together until 9 o’clock p.m. when it’s “light out.” One volunteer sleeps in the prayer room next to the sanctuary, while the other volunteer stays awake in the hall right outside the Founders Hall where the clients are. At around 1 a.m. the volunteers switch places. By 7 a.m. everyone leaves Grace Church to start their day. This is a very fulfilling way to serve our Lord. (Matthew 25:40 – “Truly I say whatever you did for the least of these brothers and sisters you did for me.”) On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we serve a breakfast too. If you would like to help out, please call Kirt Collins at 805.801.3293

Sign Up to Serve!

Homeless Shelter Meals
There is a service in our community that feeds the homeless people a warm lunch every day of the year and we at Grace Church have the privilege of serving this group of people a 1-2 times a month. There is a need though for one of the times we serve lunch, the 3rd Thursday of every month. We are looking for a group of people to train and rotate in when others are sick, on vacation, or working. The time commitment is 1 hour of serving lunch plus prep time to prepare the food. Please call Tim Tryon for more information 805.543.9238          

Orphan & Foster Care Ministry

At Grace, three realities compel us toward the care of orphans through adoption and foster care.  The first is the reality that the family is God's thing.  God designed and ordained marriage and the human family as the building block of human society and human flourishing.  Therefore, children belong in families.  The second is the reality that the Gospel is all about adoption.  The Gospel is the good news of God's grace in the person and saving work of Jesus Christ to bring lost, blind, spiritually dead sinners into His eternal family.  As those who have been adopted, we are eager to promote and practice adoption and foster care.  The third is the reality that the Bible speaks repeatedly about God's care and our responsibility to care for orphans, as the people of God.   (Deut.10:18, Ps.10:14, Is. 1:17, Jer. 22:3, Jam. 1:27).   The Gospel compels us toward gracious care. 

These 3 realities give rise to our mission and vision.  Our mission is to celebrate, proclaim and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ by caring for orphans and children in need of families. Our vision is to encourage and support both local and international adoptions as well as foster care among the Grace family so that we might see the lives of orphans and children in need of families transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We pursue this mission and vision through the oversight of the Grace Adoption Fund and through ongoing efforts to promote and educate the Grace Family about the joys, challenges, and opportunities to care for orphans and children in need. 

Welcoming Children Home Orphan Conference

The purpose of this annual Central Coast Orphan Care Conference is to motivate and inform Christians of both the Biblical call and the needs of orphans.  There are three tracks: 1) for those interested in foster care and adoption; 2) for those with adopted kids who need more support and training; 3) those who are wanting to care for orphans globally and domestically but not called to adopt.

View WCH Conference Info HERE!

The Grace Central Coast Adoption Fund

The Grace Adoption Fund has been established by Grace to help families at Grace overcome the financial obstacle of adoption.  The cost of many forms of adoption seems financially impossible to many Christian couples.  That reality results in thousands of children remaining in orphanages or being adopted by unbelievers instead of learning the gospel of Jesus Christ in a forever family.  God has commanded His people – the Church – to care for those in need. We believe God wants to use His church as part of a couple’s financial provision in adoption.

For more information or to request financial assistance for your adoption, please contact the Adoption & Fostercare Adoption Team at adoption@graceslo.org

Helping those in need through financial assistance. 
From food to utility bills and rent we become neighbors to the poor in our community, demonstrating that Jesus cares for them and so do we.

Prayer Ministries 

Praying is a way we admit we are powerless without God to do anything of lasting value. At Grace we want to pray continually and purposefully, seeking God’s power in all situations.
