- Community Groups Community Groups meet throughout the week in various locations and are meant to encourage fellowship, love and connection within our church and neighborhood communities and help us apply our faith in practical ways. Some of our groups are pretty full, so we are also looking for Renewal Members to consider leading a group! If you have any questions or interest in our CGs, please sign up or head to our Welcome Table to speak with someone after the service.
- Run/Walk Club– If you would like to run or walk with others one Saturday a month, enjoy the good weather and build a rhythm of communal life with others, we encourage you to fill out this interest form!
- Opportunities to Serve & Care for our Church & Community- In this transitional season, we have an opportunity to thoughtfully reexamine both what we do and how we do it. We are eager to look afresh at our practices, consider meaningful improvements, and reflect on how our structures are serving our members. Here are four ways for members to support the Session, Women’s Council, and Diaconate: Felt Needs, Prayer Team/Relational Engagement, Community Engagement, Building. If interested in serving in any of these ways, please fill out this form
