Adult Ministry
Women's Ministry
Our GracePoint Women's Ministry Team exists to give women opportunities to grow in faith, service, and relationships by cultivating a culture of community and connection. We encourage our women to live life together by mentoring one another, studying God's word, and serving our church family and Atlantic community.
Our three areas of ministry include:
- Spiritual Growth - provides Bible study opportunities for women
- Care Teams - provide for the physical and spiritual needs of women in our body
- Community Outreach - provides opportunities for serving and sharing Christ in our community
You can find upcoming events on our events calendar. If you have questions please drop a note to our church staff.
Men's Ministry
Our heart is to see men flourishing by finding and living out their unique calling as a man, husband, father and each role we are called to. We provide many men’s and couples small groups. These are places for us to dive into good teaching, let down our guard, be real with each other. To get a list of the current small groups, please drop a note to our church office.
Small Groups
Our small group Bible studies and Sunday morning groups are a vital part of the life of our church. These studies take place throughout the year and at a variety of locations in people’s homes or at the church. Each study is based on the Word and encourages an atmosphere of prayerfulness and mutual care within the group.

Adult and Youth Sunday School Class
Adult Bible Fellowship at 9:15 AM - Pastor Don is teaching a class called Back to Bible Basics during the ABF hour in October. This class will provide an overview of our doctrine of Scripture by exploring such topics as revelation, inspiration, the canon of Scripture, inerrancy, and principles of interpretation.
The Heart of Family - six weeks to a happier home and healthier marriage is going to begin on September 7th in the community room during the Sunday school hour. The class will be led by John Lorenzen and Dillon Clemsen and it focuses on relationships within young families.
We also offer a children's Sunday School class at this time, back in the classroom in the south hallway.
Grades 9-12 Youth are joining the "Back to Bible Basics" class with the adults. Grades 6-8 Youth will have their own class starting in October.
Care Teams
God has called us to care for one another. One practical way we have found for that to work itself out is through our Care Teams. Our care teams desire to minister to each other and the body of Christ in practical ways as needs arise. We invite you to find out more about this vital ministry of GracePoint Church.
