iGroups
i-Groups are small groups of people focused on discovering and living their identity in Christ. These groups embody the vision and unique culture of honor we desire to create into the fabric of TGP. We currently offer two i-Groups on Tuesday nights, 7p.m. and Wednesday nights at 7p.m.
Along with developing healthy relationships, growing in Grace, creating a culture of honor, and serving together, these groups will focus on understanding and living the Grace message of the Gospel. Specifically, four important points are focused on... 1) God loves people unconditionally 2) Jesus came to give people a completely new identity 3) as people believe it they will live it 4) Faith is the root, obedience is the fruit 5) Right believing leads to right living.
Services
Our Sunday morning worship experiences are highly creative, modern, and easy to visit. The Gospel message of God's Grace is our center piece.

"The people whom God has used to shape my heart, were ministers who spoke from their heart. Chris is one of those men. Grounded in grace and the Word of God, Chris speaks with anointing and compassion. He’s been through the fire and lived to tell about it. What he says helps others walk with God while in their furnace of affliction.”
- Tony Nolan Friend/Evangelist/Author/
“Like a parent who sees their child in harms way, Chris is full out to help all understand that we need what we have been offered; God’s grace, mercy, forgiveness, love, hope and encouragement. Chris opens up all of God’s Word in order to pass on the eternal principles of God’s love for us and Chris will open up any and all of his story, if it will help any of us understand and sense that we are loved by God.” - Steve Roepken Pastor/Writer
“When speaking, Chris has an energy that inspires you to take action in your life. His passion for helping people understand God’s unconditional love is reflected in his teachings and stories.” Amber Dobecka / Faithvillage.com
“Chris has the ability to communicate weaving grace and truth together in such a way that allows the audience to meet with Jesus
and experience Him. Chris seems to have the ability to communicate in a clear, relevant way that points people to the cross. His character, willingness to share hard truth, and clarity of the text is a great testament to how God is at work in his life.” -Chris Rollman Pastor of Church Planting and Evangelism / West Evangelical Free Church Wichita, Kansas
Chris’ speaking is lively, relevant, compassionate and goes straight to the real issues in our lives and how the Gospel intersects with them! -Todd Hahn Lead Pastor / Next Level Church Charlotte, NC
“Pastor Chris has an ability to speak truth and life into the hardest of hearts reaching people far from God. I know because I was one of them.” -Earl Henning Pastor
"By the grace of God, we met Chris and his lovely family in China when we were both adopting our daughters last year. What an incredible, genuine, loving, passionate individual Chris is and how blessed we were to have met him. We have learned so much from his messages. We have been so touched, so moved, so inspired by his words and we faithfully continue to seek his guidance and wisdom throughout all of our experiences in life. Somehow, it seemed that every time we turned to Chris for his weekly words of wisdom, it felt as though he was speaking specifically to us! Our minds have been blown away by that and by the relevance of all of his messages to our lives." -The Assante's , New Jersey
“It has been my pleasure to know and hear the speaking and teaching of Chris Kratzer for several years now. I find Chris’ insights and guidance for us all to be scripturally relevant, spiritually inspirational and situationally needful. In a world that searches and seeks for God’s clarity and voice daily, Chris helps deliver that voice with a passion and excitement that steadily reassures and instructs us all.” -Jeff White
