Community and Connection
Our Small Groups Ministry exists to foster community and connection outside of Sunday morning worship. The Small Groups Ministry values sharing stories, deep listening, engaging in faith exploration, putting faith in action, supporting one another, and having fun. We have many different groups that are open to various ages.
Current Small Groups
Prayer Group
Every Tuesday, 11:30am on Zoom
Members of our church family near and far gather weekly for prayer. In these short meetings (perfect for a lunchtime break), we share a short reflection, then share public and personal prayer requests. This group is alternately clergy and lay-led, as together we form the praying body of our church.
Young Adult Bible Study
Every Tuesday, 6:30pm
We’re a group of young adults who meet weekly to discuss and learn about the Bible. We have a flat leadership style and rotate leaders every week to provide a variety of learning and teaching opportunities.
