Stay Connected with GRAPPLE

Each week at GRAPPLE, your teen is learning lots of Biblical truth as part of a comprehensive teaching plan (www.mygrapple.com). In order for them to maximize this study, it is important for you not only know what they are learning but also how to help them reinforce it and take it deeper. To help with this, we have given out logins (click “logins” here) for each student to allow them to post and see God sightings, Care cards, prayer request, and Let’s talk!
