Sunday Morning ADULT Connection Groups

These groups all meet on Sunday mornings from 9:45-10:45, before the worship service.  Summer hours may vary. Please check for current hours at the bottom of this page.

This means these are the only mutually exclusive Connection Groups – you can be a member of multiple Connection Groups otherwise. These groups meet at the same time the youth and children are in their Sunday School classes so there is built in childcare. Each of these groups has a slightly different focus and a little different demographic. But the demographics listed below are descriptive only.

Each group welcomes anyone and everyone.
