FAQ #2

How much will the Grace Matters study cost? Much like your redemption, the cost has been paid by someone else. There is no cost to you. The Grace Matters study guide can be picked up at the church or emailed to you.

Do you use a curriculum or the Bible? During the Grace Matters campaign, we are following a study guide which guides us through chunks of Ephesians. The main teaching from Scripture is done on the weekend, but it’s best to bring your Bible to group so you can follow the discussion there. If you’re the type to write notes in your Bible, you’ll have opportunities in group as we mine deeper into key points. After the series, should you continue as a CONNECT group, you have freedom in the studies you choose. Some groups follow a guide while others just mine into the Word. A healthy balance is the key.

What's the difference between Grace Matters and CONNECT? CONNECT is the Small Groups Ministry of Grace Church, while Grace Matters is a church-wide alignment series where the preaching of the weekend is followed by group discussion in small groups. The Grace Matters series involves both the weekend ministry and small group ministry of the church. Also, while Grace Matters ends the week of November 15, CONNECT groups have no term and therefore do not end.

What if I don't know my Bible that well? Is that okay? Absolutely. In fact, you could know nothing about the Bible or God and you could participate in the Grace Matters series. You will need a Bible for the study. If you don’t have a Bible and have difficulty getting one for yourself, please email CONNECThelp@lgbc.org.
