Small Group Ministries
Our small groups provide an opportunity to connect with other congregants around common interest/pursuit, affinity, and relationship. In the spirit of Shared Ministry, groups are formed and self-organized in relationship to our congregational mission, shared UU values, and the practice of covenant.
