Adult Ministries
Edification, Fellowship and Togetherness
Our adult ministries offer different opportunities to meet in small groups to learn about God’s Word and grow friendships with fellow parishioners. The Church also offers larger faith forums with guest speakers throughout the year, and other ministries whose sole purpose is to enjoy each other’s company. The Lord knows we’re better together; ministering, inspiring, helping, listening and laughing. He never intended for us to be alone.
Upcoming ministry events are posted on the parish website, our Facebook page, in The Word, and via email newsletter communications. If you have any questions, please contact the Church office.
