Discover how a small group can be a wonderfully vital part of your life by joining one of our present groups or by sharing your interest in a new group.

We offer a wide variety of group opportunities, and new groups are always forming.  The pastor would love to help you get connected with the right person or group, as well as hear your ideas for new groups.  Call Pastor Dave at 262-284-9478..

• Men’s Breakfast – A men’s gathering designed by men for men!  On the 2^nd and 4^th Saturdays of each month, the men of the church are invited to join with other men for Breakfast at Harry’s Restaurant in Port Washington.  We begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 8:55 for those who have to go to work or other responsibilities.  The men of the church gather for fellowship and a hearty full-course breakfast.  Following the breakfast is a thought-provoking and informative discussion led by Wayne Lueptow on topics of interest to men.  All men of the church are encouraged to join us.
