ADULT FELLOWSHIP GROUPS
| New Creation |
|
New Creation is for young adults 18 to 30+ years of age
who are in college or working. Time is spent in fellowship, sharing what
is happening in our lives and in prayer. After fellowship time we move
into a lesson or attend Sunday School electives. We enjoy getting together
for fellowship activities such as Sunday afternoon lunch, social nights
and holiday coffee houses. |
| Disciples |
|
The Disciples group was recently formed
for those ranging in age from mid-20's to mid-30's. Time is spent sharing
prayer requests and getting to know one another better. Outside social
events are also planned. |
| Followers |
|
Most members of the
Followers Fellowship Group are in their late 20's to late 30's. The group
includes parents with children, newborn to 12 years old. They spend
Sunday mornings in prayer and fellowship, sharing praises and concerns
with each other. Once a month, they have a social event. During these
events (some of which have become traditions), they eat, play games, laugh
and get to know each other better. Occasionally these events include
bowling, baseball games, or barbecuing. |
| Cornerstone |
|
Cornerstone is a "30-40 something" low-key
fellowship group with children ranging in age from toddlers to college.
On Sunday mornings they meet for sharing and prayer and some planning of
yearly gatherings like a Christmas dinner, a Bread and Soup dinner, a
summer outing, and a September picnic. Leadership is shared month by month
by volunteers who lead the fellowship time. They keep absent members
abreast of prayers and activities with a weekly report placed in church
mailboxes. Some members can't be there on Sunday mornings, but can
and do come to their great parties. |
| Agape |
| Agape is a young-family
fellowship group. Parent's ages range from the late 30's to the late 40's.
Children's ages range from infants to young teenagers. The group is
focused on fellowship with each other and support in our walk with the
Lord. We plan monthly activities outside the church to foster our
fellowship group unity and outreach. |
| Believers |
|
Most of the people in Believers Fellowship are in their
late 30's to early 50's. Children range in age from middle school to post
high school. On the first Sunday of the month we include a regular time
for sharing and prayer. We get to know each other up close and personal in
an interview of an individual or couple on 2nd Sundays. On 3rd Sundays, we
break into smaller groups and record specific prayer requests to pray for
during the month. Singing praises and prayer is our goal for the 4th
Sunday, and a time of food and fellowship is the theme for those 5th
Sundays. Once a month we have an activity such as bowling, monté carlo
night and picnics. |
| Seekers |
|
This group ranges in age from late 30's to late 50's.
The format is a sharing and prayer time during Sunday mornings, with an
emphasis on getting to know each other better. Quite often there are
social activities and service projects such as working around the church. |
| Koinonia |
|
The Koinonia Fellowship Group is a
lively bunch of people in their late 40's to early 60's. They are a group
of "Empty-Nesters" who enjoy having fun and a great time. They
try to meet once a quarter for a large group activity such as a New Year's
Eve Party or a summer picnic. They also have what they call "Friends
& Memories" groups. These are small groups of about 6-8
people that get together once a quarter just to get to know each other on
a more personal basis. These groups are changed yearly. They do a fund
raiser/service project once a year like selling Entertainment Books and
donating the funds to several causes within the church and community. |
| Ambassadors |
|
The Ambassador Group is for our seniors. They intentionally focus both internally and externally. Sharing and prayer are regular features of their meeting times as they learn to know and support each other better. Fellowship is fostered by such events as a summer corn roast, bus trips and meeting in annually re-organized "dinner for eight" groups. Relating to our broader world, the Ambassadors are actively involved in supporting a number of scholarships for young students in India. Presently, they are enjoying a partnership relationship with a BIC church in northeast India. |
