Adults

Whether you’re taking your first step or your next step in faith, we are eager to help you connect with other adults who strive to do the same. Because we care about your spiritual, mental, emotional, financial, relational and physical health, we offer a variety of opportunities to grow in these areas.

Life Groups

At Community, we are intentional in our efforts to develop small groups that do life together—some for a season and others long-term. These aptly named Life Groups offer opportunities for adults to build meaningful relationships with one another while asking difficult questions of faith; praying together; growing in Christ and forming caring, Christian Community.

Some Life Groups meet year-round and study the Bible and other faith-based books.

"Grief Journeys" Life Group

Many of us have experienced grievous losses in recent years. You may have lost a loved one, a job, a pet or an aspect of your health. Your grief is unique to you, but there are aspects that are shared. Sometimes it helps to talk about your experiences and to listen to others. To provide some support and comfort, we are offering a loss support group. There is no need to sign up in advance. For current meeting dates/times, please contact Jacque Gordon:  763-295-4826  |   .

WOMEN’S MINISTRIES

Women have always played an important part in the ministries of Christ. At Community, it’s no different. Women gather together for spiritual growth, social interaction and in service to others.

We have active United Methodist Women’s groups at Community. These UMW groups (called “circles”) are connected to the larger, global United Methodist Women organization of 800,000+ members committed to fostering spiritual growth, developing leaders and advocating for justice. The purpose of the United Methodist Women is threefold:

• To know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ
• To develop a creative supportive fellowship
• To expand concepts of missions through participation in the global ministries of the church

UMW circles at Community include:
