Adult Groups
We are a group of young adults. Some of us are going to college or graduate school. Some of us are in the working world, building our careers. And some of us are still trying to figure things out. We are a community that seeks to understand Scripture and how it speaks to our lives.We meet on Thursday nights at 7pm and we’re dedicated to study, fellowship, and prayer. We are very social and spontaneous. It is not uncommon to have several events going on outside the church.
We desire to deepen our relationship with God, strengthen our marriages, and build friendships. No matter what issues or phase you are encountering in your engagement, marriage or as a single parent, you are welcome in our group.
Young Couples Our Young Couples in-person Bible Study is on hold due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and Shelter-in-Place order. However we are meeting via Skype on Fridays, 8-9pm for a study of the Psalms. Email scottr@bloomingdalechurch.org for more information.
