If you are new here, new to the Christian faith, or even if you have been here for many years, you may be wondering how you get connected to other people in a large church like College Church. We encourage everyone to be part of one smaller gathering for the purpose of relationships and spiritual growth. One option would be for you to join one of our Sunday morning Adult Community Groups.

What is the purpose of Adult Community Groups?
Our Adult Community Groups are smaller gatherings of people who learn from the Bible about being a disciple of Jesus Christ and fellowship together by actively loving and caring for one another. Through these groups we desire for adults to think biblically about God, the gospel and the world around them. We also desire our adults to faithfully live out the gospel, sharing it both locally and globally.

What kind of Adult Community Groups are there?
Finding the right community for you to plug into is an important step. Our Sunday morning Adult Community Groups meet during the 8, 9:30, or 11 a.m. hours. See the listings below for which groups we have and at which hour they meet.

A new group of post-undergraduate men and women (early to late 20s) will gather every Sunday evening for fellowship, interactive teaching and prayer. We’re wrestling together as young adults with what it means to faithfully and courageously serve the Lord in all areas of life.

For more information contact Andrew Tebbe: atebbe@gmail.com. Starts on Sunday, June 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the home of Tim and Debbie Hollinger, 1919 Emily Ct, Wheaton.
