GOOD THINGS HAPPEN IN GROUPS

Community Groups are a huge part of who we are as a church and how we build relationships and grow closer to Christ. New groups are getting into gear this fall! Lives are being changed as men and women meet in homes during the week to dive into God’s word and connect with friends who care for one another in the highs and lows of life. Ready to find your place to belong?

Ministry Fair

As fall kicks into gear in the weeks ahead, it’s the perfect time to step into a new group, or maybe step up to a serving team. That’s why we’re excited to host a ministry fair right after services on the weekend of August 16 and 17. It’s your chance to explore all kinds of small groups, where you can grow your faith and find true community with new friends. The Fair is also the place to find serving opportunities. You can use your gifts to glorify God and serve others!

And ministry isn’t just a weekend thing. Woodmen folks are discovering creative ways to serve in the community — from the classroom to the boardroom, from the coffee shop to the machine shop, from the ballfield to any field where God has planted you! He invites each of us to redeem the places where we live, work and play. Come to the Ministry Fair and let us know how you’re being salt and light, so we can pray with you and encourage you in the year ahead.

COME TO THE SIX ON THE SIXTH

Our church community is growing! We’re excited to launch a 6 PM Saturday night service on September 6. A third service means more room for more people to experience the hope of Jesus and the joy of belonging to a caring community. It also means more opportunities to serve. Together we can welcome more folks and see them come to know the saving love of Jesus. Will you pray about stepping into a serving team, or making Saturday at Woodmen Downtown your go-to service? Let us know if you're planning on attending, serving or both by clicking below!

INVEST IN COMMUNITY

Small groups are a big part of who we are as a church, and as people begin setting new rhythms this fall, we’re looking for more leaders to help others connect and find community. Maybe that’s you! Whether it’s leading a Community Group focused on Biblical discussion, prayer and authentic fellowship like the Acts 2:42 church, or a Connect Group built around shared interests and new friendships, you don’t need a specific skill set—we’ll equip you with the coaching you need to lead with confidence and help others grow in their faith. Click HERE if you're interested in becoming a Community Group leader, or click HERE if you're interested in becoming a Connect Group leader.

CONNECT GROUPS

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 pickleball. That's where Connect Groups come in – these are casual get-togethers in homes or out in the community. Click below to check out groups that are meeting this fall!
