Fellowship Groups
We have many groups of various life stages, topics and interests. Many of our groups are described below. Also, please check the church bulletin for information on times, location and leadership of the groups. Or call the church office (302-737-2300) and one of the pastoral staff will be glad to assist you in finding a group in the church. The Men’s Ministry, Women’s Ministry and Elevation Community Groups pages also have information on small groups.
Any and all of these groups welcome new members. The leaders would be glad to contact you and give you more information, so please don’t hesitate to e-mail. The key distinctive of these groups is that they are places outside of Sunday worship to engage in rich fellowship & focused prayer. Some groups study topics, others simply meet & enjoy each other’s company and pray for one another.

The Alpha Group
The Alpha group meets the first and third Fridays of each month beginning at 7:30PM, with the meeting location rotating through our members’ homes. Currently our Group has 12 family units, with a good mix of married/single and working/retired folks.
Typically we begin with a study, followed by a time for praise, and prayer. Refreshments are then served as we join with each other in a time of fellowship. Several times during the year we will have picnics, Christmas dinners or meetings that are social in nature.
Visitors are always welcome, so check the bulletin for the next meeting location and come and join us.

Our group consists of adults in the age range of the 50’s into the 90’s. Some are single, some are married, some are widowed, some are employed, but most are retired. We meet almost every other Friday during the school year at the homes of the group members. We begin at about 7:30 p.m. with a time of fellowship and refreshment. This is then followed by a time of study, prayer and then by hymn singing.

The Encouragers Undershepherd group usually meets every other Friday beginning at 7:30 pm. If there is a church event on the Friday we are scheduled to meet, we move the meeting to Saturday. The meeting location rotates through our members’ homes. We are mostly a group of couples in the 50’s to 60’s age range; some singles also attend.
A typical meeting begins with refreshments and fellowship. This is followed by a study of the Bible, a book, or a topical theme presented with a video. The meeting ends with a time of prayer. Twice a year we meet for special events, a swimming pool party and a Christmas dinner with gift exchange. We love to have you visit us.
