We believe that there are two powerful influences in this world: Church and Family. They exist because God created them to tell His Story: to tell the world who He is and what He has done and will do. Each of these two powerful influences has a distinct and essential task that God has designed them to do. At Grace Chapel, our mission is to pass faith in God to the next generation so they will grow a thriving relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

In the lives of young people, families have the greatest influence (by far!) on their formation and growth—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. What an honor to play such a significant role in the life of a young person, and also what a huge responsibility that is for families! Fortunately, families are not the only influence in the lives of their children. At Grace Chapel, we want for your sons and daughters what you want for them – to grow in wisdom, in stature, in favor with God and other people. That’s why we are driven by one passion – connecting church leaders & families to fuel faith in the next generation.

Our women’s ministry seeks to connect women of all ages by providing a weekly Bible study in our community. This environment includes a large group lesson led by a team member or guest speaker followed by smaller group discussions about the lesson. We explore topics such as prayer, the Holy Spirit, discipleship, grace, and more all while encouraging closer relationships with each other through group prayers and outside activities.

 

For more information about participating in our women’s Bible study in the spring or fall, please visit our Connection Desk in the foyer of our building.

 

 

Our men’s ministry is devoted to helping men in our community follow Christ by allowing Him to shape them into the leaders, husbands, and fathers they were made to be no matter the cost. We encourage every man to serve their families, one another, and our communities with courage, humility, and unity. We do this by providing a small group environment for men called a “Band of Brothers,” retreats focused on spiritual renewal, and a mentorship program that helps men grow into the likeness of Jesus.

Homelessness is an issue in Forsyth County and is not just for drug addicts and alcoholics. Cumming Home Ministries (CHM) was birthed in 2010 because of one such man in a tent.
