Besides the major fellowship events, a number of small groups regularly meet at United Church for fellowship, spiritual growth, and education. The Board of Adult Education will be encouraging the formation of other small groups each fall and spring. Watch for announcements!

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.
