“Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” - The four Sunday evening gatherings a year offer a unique opportunity to socialize with church friends and dine on good food.

You host once and bring a pre-assigned appetizer, salad or dessert the other three times.

Small Group Women's Bible Study - Wednesday evening gathering for all ages to study and discuss challenging and inspirational Christian topics led by Jennifer Wright. Meal and child care are available.

Bible Studies - Wednesday evening study is offered at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday morning study with Pastor Bruce is at 9:15 a.m. These are two excellent times that give people have a chance to grow in their relationship with God and one another, and to grow in faith, which is a gift given in Baptism.

YAH (Young At Heart) Potluck - Great food, fun, fellowship and a brief program is offered at noon on the second Friday of each month. If you are retired or available, bring your table service, a dish to pass, and come to the Koinonia Kafe at the church to enjoy some of the best food in town!

Breakfast Groups - Both working and retired people are invited to attend the women’s breakfast group which meets every Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. at Tally’s Restaurant (530 6th Street) for a short devotion, and fellowship.

WELCA Circles meet once a month (except for summer) for Bible study and fellowship. With circles meeting in the morning, afternoon and evening, there is a time for everyone interested.

Connectors Groups - Two to seven individuals gather in each group weekly for a one hour session to explore the next Sunday’s Gospel lesson. There is no official leader who presents a lesson. Just pick up the two-page printed session in the Koinonia Kafe (at church) that includes the biblical background of the text, a connection of the biblical theme with daily life, and a suggestion for applying a faith practice in the coming week. The format lends itself to include those outside the church family or new to the faith.
