Small Groups
People who come together in small groups to share common interests and goals make new friends and get to know their fellow church members more easily.
In addition to the ideas listed below, other opportunities to become involved in small group activities include Chancel Choir, GOOD NEWS and Handbell Choirs, United Methodist Women, Habitat for Humanity, Broadway Meals, Student Tutoring, Hospitality Homes, Interfaith Hospitality Network, Prayer Shawl Ministry, Stephen Ministries, Eucharist Ministry, and many others. Please refer to those pages on our website for more information.
For a list of all small groups and Bible studies meeting throughout the year, please stop by the Welcome Desk in the Tower Entrance or call the church office.
We are always open to suggestions for small group opportunities. If we don't already have one to answer your needs, we'll start a new one! Please let one of the pastors or the church office know of your interest.
