We’re launching 242 GROUPS this Fall!

These groups are based on Acts 2:42 - They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the [sharing of meals] and to prayer.

A 242 Group involves 4 things:

  • Bible teaching

  • Fellowship (hang-out time)

  • Sharing a meal

  • Prayer

If you’d like to be a Group Leader for FGU Elk River this Fall, email david.phelps@freegrace.tv.
