OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADULTS

Small Groups
God never intended anyone to try to live out their faith on their own. Develop relationships, grow closer to Jesus, and discover how God wants to use you to bless others. We have a variety of small groups that meet at different times and locations throughout the week. Contact our Adult Ministry/Discipleship team at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Growth Groups

There are two six-week sessions every spring and fall. There are a wide variety of groups to choose from.

Open Circle
This class is a small group of caring, accepting persons joined in a pilgrimage to become more like Christ in our understanding, attitudes, and actions. Study is alternated between a book of the Bible and a book of Christian helps. Meets Sunday mornings at 9:00am in Room 112.

Interest Groups

What do you have a passion for? Cooking, motorcycles, and auto mechanics are just a few of the interest groups that are already in place at Union Chapel. There is no set agenda for interest groups...just opportunities for you to get to know others who have a common interest. So, put on your helmet, grab your spatula and contact our Adult Ministry/Discipleship team to join the fun.
