We know it can be a little scary to join a group for the first time, and we know how easy it is to find an excuse to miss out on this, but there’s too much to gain! Check out 5 reasons why you don’t want the excuses or the fear to win out on this one.

1. We meet where you are

We have groups that meet online and in-person. The great news about that is no matter where you are, no matter what state – physically, mentally, or emotionally we want to meet you where you are.

2. No long-term commitment needed

The majority of our Dinner Groups run all year long. This is a perfect time a year to join because we have new groups that just launched recently. This is a great opportunity to form new relationships with others who are also trying this out for the first time. Be assured, you are not the only one who is new.

3. Consistent encouragement

Whether it’s spending daily time with God, serving the community, being baptized, or another milestone, Dinner Group members support each other to take that next step. We are all at different points in our journey. Taking a step of faith can be intimidating, but you don’t have to take that step alone. You will have people rooting for you as you move forward and people who have your back when you fear you might fail. Dinner Group gives you a front-row seat to watch the faith of others in action. Your faith will grow as you see Him at work in the group.

4. It is a chance to be real for once

We are always going through life trying to fit in. A lot of the time that means we have to “fake it ’til we make it.” Dinner Groups are a place where you can let your guard down and be authentic. It helps to know that others are facing the same difficulties, or have already walked through them.

5. Find community in Hoboken

People have traveled from near and far to call Hoboken home. As a result, Hoboken Grace is made up of people from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life. It’s in these groups that you will establish and deepen relationships with people God has uniquely made and placed in your life. Your group will grow together — enduring trials and making memories, just like a community.
