This fall we are hoping that every person in our community finds a small group to deepen their faith and community connection. In this time of physically distanced worship, we can grow in our faith through intentional and meaningful relationships in small groups. With several options and commitment levels, we are confident there is a small group that will fit your schedule.
All groups will begin online. As we continue through this season of pandemic, groups are encouraged to meet on Thursdays to accommodate the possibility that groups could occasionally (or regularly) meet in the church building safely later in the fall and winter, but there will be some groups that meet on other days. |
Covenant Discipleship Groups
Covenant Discipleship Groups are all about encouraging one another on each person's personal faith journey. They focus on mutual accountability and group agreement in four areas; compassion, justice, worship, and devotion. There are options for these groups, some will meet monthly, some bi-monthly, and some bi-monthly. Covenant Discipleship Groups will commit to meeting for one year, with the possibility for renewal, adding new members, and starting new groups in May. (Most groups will meet between October 29- May 13. Sign up now!

Contemplative Faith Practices
"It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work;

we have begun our real journey."
