A Small Group Ministry is...
...a great place to uncover God's purpose for your abilities,
...a place to give service to others in the name of Christ,
...a place where you can search the Bible with fellow
explorers,
...a place to meet new people and make new friends,
...a place that will give you a sense of belonging.
Small Group Opportunities
Our church offers a variety of small groups for worship, study, prayer, fellowship, and service. Check the list below, and see if any of these appeal to you. Most of these groups will resume in the fall; call the church office if you have questions about whether the group is meeting in the summer. If you have an idea or a need for a group that isn't listed, please speak to Pastor Rebecca and share your idea.

"We celebrate the Good News of Jesus
Christ by
serving the community and the world."
Our purpose is to be an open community of believers who proclaim
that Jesus Christ is Lord and who recognize that new possibilities
are realized in a common growth in worship, study, fellowship,
and mission.
We have four committees who do the administrative ministries
of the church such as finance, personnel, and building maintenance.
Our program ministries are now being carried out through the
organization of small groups of people who serve in ministries
where they have an interest and feel a calling. Our small groups
are also places of warmth and sharing where people can establish
closer ties and receive the supportive fellowship and caring of
others.
We are currently forming small group ministry teams for the areas
of worship, missions, and Christian Education. Those interested
may contact the church office at 362-2091.
Existing small groups are always open to newcomers. They include:
Card Care
This small group recycles greeting cards and sends them to members,
visitors, those who are ill, and others in the community. The
card care group meets on Monday afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00 pm,
and Wednesdays from 6:00 to 7:00 pm.
Fish and Loaves
This small group works with the local food pantry and the Meals
programs in the community to help feed hungry people here and
also encourages our participation in hunger missions throughout
the world. The group meets at 11:00 am on the second Thursday
of the month.
Quilting Ministry
This new group is making quilts as gifts for members, for others
in the community, and other places where their mission efforts
might be needed. The group meets the second and fourth Wednesday
at 3:00 pm.
Open Arms
This group is taking our denomination-wide invitation: "Open
hearts, open minds, open doors" one step further by providing
an "Open Arms" ministry to welcome visitors and newcomers.
Meetings are on the first Wednesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m.
