Life groups are 'mini communities' that provide mutual support and care for all members. We encourage you to invest in a Life Group in order to build relationships, support one another in prayer and friendship, and know each other deeply as a gospel community. Moms groups are Life Groups for moms, offering convenient times as well as providing childcare. The Ladies and Men's Fellowship provide an additional level of learning and place for community. Please note that the Cross-Cultural Team, Marriage Care Group, and the Ladies and Men's Fellowships are intended to provide equipping and support in addition to, not to substitute for the depth of community and support that a weekly Life Group provides.
If you'd like more info about any of these groups, please submit a connect form.

Neighborhood Groups
Neighborhood Groups (NG's) are small, casual, meaningful, fun, come-as-you-are mini-communities of 10-15 people that meet in homes throughout Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan and Petworth. These NGs provide a nurturing environment in which people of different spiritual and cultural backgrounds can grow in their relationships with God (group discussion and prayer), with one another (friendship/mutual support), and with our neighborhood (serving and loving our neighbors).
Go here to learn more about our Neighborhood Groups.
Meridian Hill Moms
Connect with other moms in our church and neighborhood! This mini-community meets regularly in the Fall and Spring for relationships, support, and spiritual growth. Meetings include a Bible or book discussion, sharing and prayer with a focus on supporting mothers during the busy season of parenthood.
There are two groups: A weekly Wednesday morning group and a bi-weekly Thursday evening group that meet in various homes throughout the neighborhood. Childcare is provided on Wednesday mornings. Activities also include large group events, topical teaching or discussion, playdates, sharing tips and resources, and general communication on all things family, church and neighborhood related.

Cross-Cultural Team
The Cross-Cultural Team's vision is to asses the congregation and ourselves, equip with a scriptural foundation, develop critical lenses and cross-cultural skills, foster meaningful, cross-cultural relationships and facilitate difficult conversations. If you are longing to see a greater realization of God’s cross-cultural Kingdom come to our neighborhood and our church, whether in terms of race and ethnicity, language, politics, or age, and you are ready to take action in some way, you are welcomed to join this group to take an active role in realizing this component of our community.
