Adult Bible Study - led by the pastor and the Director of Christian Education on Wednesday at 11 AM and 7 PM.

Faithful Friends -meets the 2nd Sunday of the month after Coffee and Conversation in the kitchen of the Maurer Center, to plan and discuss upcoming plays they will be attending (usually 2 a month) along with an occasional dinner, bus trip, and other community activities.  They will conduct 1-2 fund raisers a year.  Anyone 18 or older is encouraged to attend the meetings and/or the outings.  For more information call Debbie Cron 445-9927

Mission Fellowship -All 18 or older are invited to become part of this group.  It is great fellowship and is always a come-when-you-can, leave-when-you-must group. The Mission Fellowship serves our church and community through projects ranging from painting, cleaning, carpentry, and repair work.  Spiced with occasional recreation and fellowship, our meetings are simplywhen we work.  No skills are required, just attitudes of serving in the manner of Jesus Christ. 
Tom Pappas and Thea Peterson are co-leaders of the group and share the tasks of finding projects and organizing them.  If you would like to come on board, call Thea at 344-9288.
