Discussion Groups

Small discussion groups are at the heart of GCF. With numbers ranging from 3 to 15, these groups provide a more intimate setting for us to be challenged and encouraged by one another. Topics and formats vary widely - from informal gatherings over coffee to in-depth manuscript studies of the Bible. Below is a list of the groups that have been organized for this coming year. If you find one that interests you, send an email to the contact person to find out more details. If none of them sound appealing right now, check out our other activities or our getting connected page to find another way to be involved in GCF.

The Daniel Group

This is a small group for first year graduate students, or for students new to GCF. We study the book of Daniel as a methaphor for graduate school, learning how to engage with the academic culture while holding on to a distinct Christian identity. It is a great introduction to GCF and graduate school! Highly recommended by past participants!
