One of the main components of this ministry are the weekly cell group meetings: small groups of up to 16 members. Our society grows as each cell group invites and welcomes new members, then divides once the group begins to overflow—similar to our human cells. In this way, the interconnected cells can live the New Evangelization as Pope Benedict XVI defined it: “New evangelization must surrender to the mystery of the grain of mustard seed and not be so pretentious as to believe to immediately produce a large tree.”

Below you will find a list of available cell groups. Some of them are currently under construction. If you don’t see a group that works for you here message Sue and she will let you know of other options.

Mondays

Sinclair Ave

The Group

This is a great group for anyone out of college and are attempting to live like… adults. Hey, it could happen! If you like a good discussion on faith and want to further your relationship with Christ – come join us!

The Leader - Whitney

Hi! I’m Whitney. I absolutely love meeting new people and creating a welcoming community in which to grow closer to Christ. By day, I’m a Youth Ministry Coordinator for middle and high school students and by night I am a cat & dog mom who loves bringing people together. Our Thaddeus group is welcoming, hilarious, and deeply committed to authenticity, vulnerability, and finding joy. If you’re looking for friends who are encouraging and perfectly imperfect, you’ve found your group.

Tuesdays

Work in Progress (no seriously, that’s the name)

The Group

We are a unique mix of people, in their mid-twenties to low thirties. We come from all walks of lives from those who are grad students, navigating careers,and those who are artistically focused. Despite our different journeys, we all have one thing in common- we are all a work in progress. If you are also a work in progress, you will fit in! We love dedicating time to being intentional and deepening our faith lives, while also having some fun and goofiness in the process!

The Leader - Marie

Thursdays

Hitched Up!

The Group

There is a rumor going around that once you are married or have kids you don’t ever leave the house – not true! This group is a great outlet for community and taking some time for your faith once you get hitched! It is not exclusive to just couples. If one or both spouses are able to come – great! We would love to have you!

The Leader - Brittany

Brittany has been married for 3.5 years. She is still learning how to not burn all the food. He is still learning how to make the bed. The verdict is out on how to fold towels correctly. Mostly of their energy is spent keeping two tiny humans alive. Basically life couldn’t be better.
