As we grow together in here at Grace it is important to share life together
in God's Word, discussing the challenges and issues of life in small groups,
pray and care for one another.
Practically speaking as we grow, there will never be a way for the staff or elders
to personally minister to everyone who attends our church. That's why we
as we grow we need to intentionally stay small.
SMALL Groups
What are they?
They are made up of five to six couples or five to eight individuals and are the place where
people are personally encouraged and challenged in their relationship with God and each other.
Grace 101 is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience
community. The format is a 6-week small group designed for those who are curious about
Christianity, new Christians, and those coming back to church after being away for a while.
This is also the first step for those interested in becoming members at Grace.

I was born Emily Marie Norman, on November 21, 1984, just a day before Thanksgiving in Danville, Indiana. I was baptized two weeks later on December 5. Two years after I was born we moved from a small town, Pittsboro, to the west side of Indianapolis, where my family still resides. My father, Fred, is a self-employed accountant and my mother is a veterinarian that works for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health. I am the middle child of three daughters. My older sister, Jean (25) is employed as an ER Nurse in northern Indiana. Her and husband, Ryan, have a 7-month old son, Landon. My younger sister, Abby (18) just graduated high school and will be attending West Virginia University on a volleyball scholarship.
After graduating high school in 2003, I attended Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska, majoring in Theology in the DCE Program. During my four years at Concordia I was involved in many campus organizations such as yearbook, Concordia Youth Ministry, the RA staff and Mission-Minded Students.
