Besides the major fellowship events, a number of small groups regularly meet at United Church for fellowship, spiritual growth, and education.  Schedules for meetings may vary from time to time.  If you are new the church and are interested in one of these groups, please contact the church office at office@unitedchurch.org for group leadership contact information.

United Greens "Earth Ministry" Group

This group will be a home for concerned church members and friends seeking information, dialogue and support for taking action on Care of Creation.

We will also use a simple internet group to keep in touch easily.
