LIFE GROUPS
Life Groups are what keep us sane … and connected.
Life Groups are at the very heart of who we are as a church; our small groups are an excellent opportunity for believers to study God’s Word together and enjoy fellowship in a manner that is unique to a life group. Our Life Groups meet throughout the week on and off campus on different days and at different times.
About Life Groups
At Grace Hills Church, our sermon based Life Groups velcro our church to the Bible and each other – they’re central to everything we do here!
Our Life Groups meet throughout the week, Monday – Thursday in homes and at Grace Hills Church, enjoying fellowship, sermon-based studies and special times of prayer. If you’re not in a life group, registration for our winter life groups begins in January and continues into March. Our life groups are always open to new members! Visit our life groups registration table or call the church office to find a group that will fit your schedule and discover why life is better together.

More About Life Groups
You build relationships which can only take place in a small group setting. Being sermon-based, our lessons are prepared in a way that is comfortable for the young believer or the person who has been studying God’s Word for 30 years. Receiving prayer for specific needs and concerns in your life is an amazing blessing of the life group experience.
Simply put, it is good accountability in our Christian walk to be in a life group.
There are more good reasons to join a life group than the ones listed above, but these are important points to consider before making your decision.
The main groups at Grace Hills Church are our Life Groups (small groups), seniors, men’s and women’s ministries, children and youth ministries. We also have support ministry groups – Celebrate Recovery and Stephen Ministries.
With the large retirement community of Laguna Woods Village nearby, Grace Hills has a Seniors Ministry that offers multiple ways to stay active and get connected. Whether it’s the Game Day Event that happens once a month at Grace Hills, the Sunday Friendship Class at 9:15am or the Life Group that meets at 10:30am on Wednesdays, Grace Hills seeks to care for and minister to those 55 and older. Jeanne Williams, our Congregational Care Director, oversees this ministry with the help of our deaconesses who connect with every senior in our church every month.
Every month men gather together for breakfast at 8:00am in our Fellowship Center on the 3rd Saturday of the month. The men enjoy great food, conversation, and a message from God’s Word. Afterwards, many of the men go and play golf together. The men have their retreat every September at Thousand Pines Christian Conference Center.
Our women get together for various events throughout the year. They enjoy their spring luncheon, Christmas brunch, and annual retreat in April at Thousand Pines Christian Conference Center. Many of our women meet for coffee and play dates with their kids as well as beach days at Mother’s Beach in Dana Point during the summer.
Our children meet for Sunday School each Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am in our Children’s Center. With many of our children attending Sunday School during both worship services, a different lesson and program is offered for each service. Our children also meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:00pm in our Children’s Center for games, prayer and a fun and creative lesson from God’s Word. Our children’s ministry also offers VBS during the summer as well as winter and summer camps.
Our youth (Jr. High and High School) meet on Sunday mornings at 11:00am in our Youth Center. Most of our students attend the contemporary service at 9:15am before enjoying refreshments in the Fellowship Center. Our youth also meet on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:00pm in our Youth Center where they play games, enjoy tasty treats, then learn and participate in the Bible lesson presented that night. Monthly outreach events are offered as well as winter camp at Camp Pondo and summer camp at Hume Lake.
In partnership with Saddleback Church Laguna Woods, Grace Hills offers Celebrate Recovery for men and for women on Thursday afternoons at 3:00pm in the Fellowship Center as well as Thursday evenings at 6:30pm in both the Fellowship Center and Chapel. Celebrate Recovery groups meet for step studies.
A Stephen Minister is known as “The After People” whereby they come alongside an individual after a very difficult trial or season of life. It could be after a divorce or after the disappointing medical report. It could be after a loss of employment or after the loss of a loved one. Whatever the circumstance, this group of ministers provides comfort and support for as long after is needed.
