Adult Faith Formation
Growing Stronger in Christian Community
Growing as faithful followers of God never ceases. We are all called to be continually formed by God through study, prayer, and fellowship with others. We have active adult small group Faith Formation opportunities at Grand View.
Adult Bible Study – Angels & Demons
Meets Sundays, 9:30-10:30am
The Sunday morning Adult Bible Study group meets from 9:30-10:30am, same time as PreK-12 Sunday School. Currently the group is studying what God’s Word says angels, demons, and Satan.. This is a great opportunity for adults to join a thought-provoking discussion group where it's ok to ask questions. Led by long time members Erin Haven and Judy Jochum, this group is open to all who want to grow in their faith and learn more about the Bible. All are welcome to join us in the Susanna Wesley room. For more information contact the Grand View office at office@grandviewdubuque.org.
Cell Groups
Meet once a week for an hour at various times/locations
Cell Groups are small groups that meet for one hour each week at various locations and times. We call our small groups Cell Groups for one main reason: the Church is to be the living body of Jesus, alive in the world. Just as human cells are the building blocks of the body, so too, Cell Groups are the building blocks of a healthy and vital congregation.
Lenten Study Groups
Tuesdays, 6pm or Thursday, 11am
Gather with others and talk about our Lenten Study Series, “A Jesus-Shaped Life.” This congregation-wide study will help us remember the way Jesus lived, especially during his 3 years of ministry, and we’ll be challenged to act more like Jesus in our own lives. Rev. Tom will lead this group as they journey through the book and discussion questions. Simply show up on a Tuesday (6pm) or Thursday (11am) and join the conversation (conversations begin Feb. 20).
Parents Group
Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30pm in the Susanna Wesley room
Parents Group is an opportunity for parents with kids in the home to gather with other parents and share stories, learn together, and connect. You are invited to join this group of parents as they talk family, faith, and friendship. This class meets weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30pm during CFX and is currently discussing "Focused Parenting”, a resource on Christian discipline and parenting techniques. Simply show up or let us know if you have any questions.
