Adult Faith Formation Groups

Ongoing Ministries and Groups Brochure

Church Groups may plan indoor or outdoor meetings and events. Hybrid options are also be available so some group members may participate remotely while others are in person. If a group would like to meet using ZOOM technology, please contact Rev. Bethany Peerbolte to find out how. We continue to encourage offering hybrid options at all meetings, so group members may participate remotely or in-person based on their personal comfort level with COVID-19 levels in the community. 
​Please contact Deneen Davis to schedule an indoor or outdoor space. 

Women's Bible Study
Led by Rev. Bethany Peerbolte
Wednesday, September 22, and every 
3rd Wednesday October 2021—May 2022
9:30-11:00am in Calvin Hall We are now meeting hybrid style. If people want the link they will need to contact Charlotte Fischer @cfischer50@gmail.com. This monthly meeting is now a "drop-in" study of devotionals where we reflect on scripture from our experience and create community together. Join when you can. There is no advance reading. Contact Bethany if you are wondering if this is a space for you that would be beneficial for your spiritual journey. 
Women's Covenant Group
Looking for a deep – spiritual – intelligent and confidential women’s group?  Covenant may be for you!  The word covenant means “agreement, commitment, promise” and covenant groups have been a part of the life of this church for decades.  Covenant groups are small groups which form to do spiritual study and support one another.  Members choose a book to study, share leadership, and promise to pray for each other.  One of the key components of a covenant group is confidentiality, as members share themselves with the group and deep relationships blossom.  Laughter, tears, friendship and spiritual growth are all a part of covenant!

Attendance needs to be a priority to participate and grow in Covenant.  Confidentiality is a must. 

The morning Covenant Group gathers at 9:30-11:30am on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month, from September through May.
