We are excited to continue with small groups again this fall! We invite you into this opportunity and hope you will consider one of these groups.
We have a variety of different small group offerings this semester. There is a group for everyone! We hope that you will spend time considering the different groups and choose one to attend. If you do not feel that a group is a good fit for you, feel free to sign up for another one. You can see all the information on the group leaders, when/where they are meeting, what they are studying and childcare options, below. And even if you didn’t start at the beginning with the group, you are welcome to jump in and join them at any point!
Once you’ve found a group, please scroll down to the bottom of this page to complete the group sign-up form!
Please note: Most groups will take a short break over the holidays, and will start back up again mid-January.
