Our Tuesday Community Nights allow members and friends to attend one of the classes offered, attend a Chalice Group (a form of small group ministry meeting monthly), attend a committee meeting or special one-night programs. Classes and groups are also held at other times during the week, but many enjoy the Tuesday nights when our building is "hopping" with activities. There are many volunteer opportunities with the Adult Religious Exploration program.
