Small Groups & Studies

Many of our small groups are on "summer break" from June - August. This allows our leaders a time to rest and provides participants opportunities to engage in other kinds of faith-building experiences. Listed below are groups that are meeting regularly through the remainder of the summer.  If you are looking to connect, lead, or initiate a new study, please reach out to Melissa Danielson.
