Adult Groups & Discipleship

We have a variety of different groups for all adults at every life stage in your spiritual journey. From Small Groups, Sunday School Classes, Women’s Groups, and Men’s Groups – there is a place for you here! Scroll down to learn more about our adult opportunities. For more information, contact [email protected] or visit our leadership page for the staff contact.

Small Groups:

Small Groups are 8-12 people in weekly meetings designed to help believers with their everyday relationship with Jesus. These discussion-based groups operate on a 3 trimester system, where each trimester is approximately 12 weeks long. The hope is to grow deeper as followers of Jesus and in our relationships with the other members of our groups. In a relational community, we learn and grow in how to be a better follower of Jesus. To join a group, please complete the form below.

Adult Groups & Sunday School are an opportunity to gather for deep and meaningful conversations about scripture and topics of faith. It is also an opportunity to create relationships, get to know others in our church, and live out our faith in community as Jesus instructed us. The goal of all of these classes is empowering individuals to strengthen their spiritual gifts, extend care to those in need, and welcome and discuss new ideas in a safe setting. All are welcome.

Kinfolk is relaunching its Connect Group to engage, inspire, and empower young adults who are curious about Jesus.

Who is Kinfolk for?

Kinfolk is for people with questions. You might wonder where God has been, wonder what relevance the church has, or wonder how the world can be so beautiful. If you’re like us, you do all three.

Kinfolk is a home for young adults. Yes, that’s always been a loose concept. If you want to be around other people who are learning more about the world with open minds and open hearts, then please reach out!

What will we do?

At Kinfolk, we like to eat. We’ll spend at least one evening a month having dinner together as a time of sacred connection in our ordinary spaces. Other weeks we will meet virtually to allow as much flexibility as possible and spend time sharing celebrations and concerns and praying together. We always leave space for questions and curiosity as well.  

How do I join?

We have two monthly rhythms starting in September:

First Monday In-person Dinners
5:30-7:00pm, Locations Vary

Monthly Online Gathering
Mondays, 8:00-9:00pm, Zoom

Reach out to [email protected] to get connected!

The CFCD seeks Christ in everyday life and empowers ordinary people to surprise the world. The CFCD was commissioned with a simple goal: create a reproducible pathway to discipleship knowing that the church thrives when people get involved.

We strengthen involvement by growing creative disciples. Creative disciples are passionate about Jesus and his redemptive work and see their church as a home base for unique and personal ministry. Moreover, creative disciples grow in community; they get involved with each other to surprise the world together. Look for new opportunities and studies soon!
