Meetings

Meetings are held Sunday evenings (6:00 - 8:30pm) at the Knechtle's house (click here for a map). Meetings include dinner, a time for fun and games, a great teaching and discussion with Pastor Jake and small groups for discussion with your peers.

Outreach

Grace Church has a monthly outreach to Bridgeport Rescue Mission. The group goes the second to last Saturday of every month September through May from 4:00-7:30. We meet at the church office at 58 East Ave. in New Canaan to go. Click here to download the permission slip for the year.

Retreats

The high school has two yearly retreats: one happening in the fall (Oct. '08) and one in the winter (Jan. '09). These are great opportunities to get away, build relationships, and grow closer to Christ.

Student Leadership

Student Leadership is a group that is specific for youth who are leaders within their peer group and have potential to be leaders throughout life. The times will consist of exploring God’s Word in a deeper way to think about what being a Godly leader means and looks like and assisting with the ministry in ways such as set-up, planning events, planning Sunday nights, and offering advice and insight to Pastor Jake. This group will also have significant involvement in plans and ideas concerning the Grace Farm facility.
