Both types of groups meet monthly for 7 consecutive sessions from October through May, staying together for the whole season to create deep and meaningful relationships. The groups are led by a volunteer facilitator and follow the monthly themes associated with our Sunday services. 

Registration takes place in late August to early September, and once the groups are formed, they are closed until the following year.

Journey Groups
Journey Groups encourage close relationships and deep connections with a commitment to attend monthly 90-minute meetings with the same people for 7 months. A packet of materials, including readings, spiritual exercises, and other resources, is emailed to you in advance and a structured meeting format allows for deep sharing about what you explored that month. The themes of the meetings tie in with the themes of our Sunday services.

Chalice Circles
Chalice Circles can be thought of as “Journey Groups Lite.” The same commitment is required – monthly attendance at 90-minute meetings with the same group of people for 7 months. The materials you will explore in advance of the meeting will be abbreviated – perhaps only a few readings and a couple spiritual exercises. Additionally, the meeting format will be less formally structured, allowing for deep sharing but with more cross-conversation.
