Connect groups

Learn about a few ways to get involved with like-minded
people who share your passions.

Want to get more connected with others at Woodmen? Maybe you attend weekend services and you’re already in a community group, but you’re looking for like-minded people who share your passion for something like hiking or yoga. That's where Connect Groups come in – these are casual get-togethers in homes or out in the community.

While we don’t have a group for everything, if you're looking to build relationships and come together with friends around a common hobby or need, have a look at the list below to see if there’s a group you’d like to connect with. If you’re looking for a type of group that you don’t see listed, consider leading one!



20's Connect Group

If you're in your 20s (post-college), single or married, we'd love to connect with you. We understand the importance of doing life in community with others who love Jesus and want to grow in that relationship with Him. The culture is not helping us look more like Christ, but we as the Church can encourage one another to become more like Him and to love like Him. We want to come around you, help you find community, encourage you in your spiritual journey and help you become a light in this culture.

Golf

The Woodmen Golf Connect Group provides a way to connect with other men who enjoy golf. Through golf, we want to grow in our character and patience. 

Just as Jesus taught about everyday life using parallels and analogies in parables, our goal is to take practical tips from the game of golf and tie them to spiritual things.

See you at the Tee Box!

HIKING

We feel going outdoors is a pretty good way to go hang out with God. And so that's what we do May through September. We connect weekly, every Thursday night at various hiking trails around town – all under 4 miles, all less than 2 hours – and stretch our legs together, being active and soaking up God's creation, right here in our own backyard.
