About this Group:
Discuss the Bible and grow in your relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to provide a safe space for LGBTQIA+ people to grow in their understanding and relationship with God. This group is a welcoming space across theological differences seeking to pray together, explore the Bible, and share life with one another.
This winter, we’re kicking off Rooted, a nine-week deep dive into the letter of Ephesians that’s all about building a strong foundation for your life. Each week, we’ll unpack the epic story behind this ancient letter, breaking down its meaning and why it still hits hard today. Think of it as a blueprint for living with purpose, real connection, and unshakable faith. If you’re looking to better connect with God and the people around you, this is where it starts. Don’t miss the chance to see how Ephesians can improve your faith experience.
Leader:
Tom has been going to Grace for 12 years and prior to leading the LGBTQIA+ group has volunteered with the youth group and a college-age group. Tom grew up in small town Pennsylvania and Silver Spring. In his free time he enjoys reading, going to the gym and cheering on Maryland Terrapins football and basketball.

Note from Pastor John:
Statistically, the number one thing the church has become known for is being “anti-LGBTQIA+”. That doesn’t fit with Jesus’ message: “they will know you are my followers, if you love one another.” At Grace Community Church, our goal is for everyone to experience the power and love of Jesus Christ. We are a safe place for anyone who wants to connect with God through grace and faith in Jesus. If you have questions about our approach, please reach out to me at john.slye@trygrace.org.
Meeting: In-person, weekly on Sundays at 1:00pm .
