Groups & ministries
Small groups meet in homes, cafés and on Zoom, eight to fourteen people at a time. They share a meal, talk about Sunday’s message and look after each other. Find one that fits your week.
All 13 groups
Twenty- and thirty-somethings working through the Sunday sermon over coffee. Mostly singles, a few newly-weds.
Dinner together, then adults talk while a sitter runs a kids’ lesson in the basement.
A potluck group of all ages that has met on the same porch for eight years. Bring a side.
A late-evening group that fits around lab and clinical schedules. Snacks and honest questions.
Twenty minutes of prayer before the day begins. Join from your kitchen, bed or commute.
A morning Bible study for women of every age, with free childcare in the kids’ wing.
Eggs, coffee and a chapter of Proverbs. Twelve men, one very patient waitress.
For empty-nesters and retirees asking what faithfulness looks like in the second half of life.
For parents of babies and toddlers. Bring the baby; we will hold them while you eat.
A confidential twelve-step style group for anyone working through addiction or compulsive habits.
For shift workers, caregivers and anyone who can’t get out in the evening. Same discussion, no commute.
Cena, oración y conversación en español. Families welcome, all ages.
Five families, eleven kids and a very long table. Loud, warm and always over by 8.
