Men's Small Group
David’s Mighty Men welcomes all the men of the church to join us monthly for a time of fellowship and devotion. Every meeting begins with dinner and is followed by a group discussion, devotion or study. By design, this ministry is ‘less formal’ than some of the more traditional men’s ministries, with an emphasis on fellowship and camaraderie built with thoughtful discussion and time spent in the Word. David’s Mighty Men actively pursues community mission projects, assists with cookouts for the children’s ministry, and assists with church facilities as needed.
Meets on the 4th Monday of each month at 6 p.m.
Location: Activity Room
Coordinator: Terry Plummer

For Singles, Couples & Families

For all adults.
This book study group gathers weekly to read and discuss important Christian books. This fall, we invite you to read with us! We will start with “Liturgy of the Ordinary” by Tish Harrison Warren and will finish out the year with “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Our mission is to read important literature and work together to grow in knowledge and understanding of God’s message for us today. All are welcome to join the Message Seekers at any point in the year.
Meets every Monday at 12 p.m.
Location: Activity Room

For moms of all ages
We are SO excited for this year’s theme: Good Company. Over the next year, we’ll be hitting rewind to the good ole days of 90s friendship. When friendship meant dropping by for a quick hang instead of scheduling something weeks in advance. When community felt tangible and supportive instead of digital and isolating. This is the year of analog friendship. Good Company — and a little bit of good trouble too.
Meets 2nd & 4th Sundays each month from 4:30 p.m. -6:30 PM
Location: Room 413 beginning September 13
Coordinators: Kathryn Boyette and Vicki Kelly
