God created us to be incomplete as individuals. Our hearts have an emptiness that can only be filled through both a relationship with God, and relationships with others. To that end, we need each other to grow and fulfill what God desires us to become.

If you are not already connected with our church, we want to help. This page contains resources to help you begin linking up.

How can I Link-Up? There are several ways to Link-Up in our church: Join a small group Join a men's or women's Bible study Consider co-hosting a new group Begin serving in a church ministry

Are you interested in joining a small group? Our on-line database has a list of all of our small groups. Feel free to browse through the groups and find a group that works for you.

As our church is a growing church we are always looking to start new small groups. If you are interested in starting a group please contact Pastor Jon Knapp for assistance. Here are some of the steps we use to starting a small group.

1. We will find someone to co-lead or co-host the group with you. When Jesus sent people out, he always did so in pairs. Following this model we believe groups are best served when there are 2 couples or 2 individual working together to start a group.
2. Pick a curriculum or material for the small group will study. It you don't already have one in mind; a good option is to use the Sunday sermon outline discussion questions to go deeper with the messages each week. We can recommend other material as well.
3. We have found success in launching groups that initially meet every week for about 6 weeks. This is a commitment most people can make, and the consistency helps groups bond together. After the six weeks, the group can determine if it has been a good group and if they would like to continue on.

God has gifted you and he wants you to use those gifts to minister to the church and reach out to the world. Part of Linking-Up is finding a place to serve. Here are two resources for you:

1. If you don't have a good handle on how God has uniquely created you to serve. A good first step is to take a spiritual gift inventory. You can search the web to find free spiritual gift inventories, we found a pretty good one here: Spiritual Gifts Analysis.
2. We have compiled a list of ways to serve in our church. While this list is not exhaustive it does give a good introduction to the varieties of ministries that you can serve in here at Grace Point.
