Couples and Family Small Group

Eagan

Sunday at 8:00 PM  •  Virtual

Looking to find community and connect with others in a similar stage of life? Join us as we connect as couples online over zoom twice a month. They say raising kids takes a village and who better than surround yourself with other believers who can encourage and speak truth into your life and marriage. Join us as we dig into different bible studies to grow in our knowledge of God's Word, parenting skills and marriage. We have found that this is a great way for families to get connected with others without the excuse of no childcare. Put them to bed and hop online! (Sometimes we've got a few kids that join their parents when bedtime is a challenge) We will be trying to meet a couple times a small group season in person for family or men/women's fellowship times. Please have each spouse register for the group. Look forward to having you join us! Our group meets over zoom twice a month. We found last year when having to do our group over zoom that it actually worked well for families with little kids to find community in this way (just put your kids to bed and hop on your computer). We will be trying to meet a couple times a small group season in person for family fellowship times. Please have each spouse register for the group. Look forward to having you join us!
