SMALL GROUPS (UPDATED 01/18/25)
CFC promotes participation in Small Groups as a way to meet other Christians, participate in shared interests, support each other's needs, and build lasting friendships in a one-on-one setting with limited attendance.
Currently, our groups are held in-person, virtual (highlighted in this listing), or blended in-person and virtual (also highlighted).
If you have an interest in joining one of the groups below, contact the leader directly or if assistance is needed, contact: ereed@havenfirstumc.org
If Group Leaders need to change their meeting information, send updates to: ereed@havenfirstumc.org
Life In Action Groups
Our interest is in following Jesus' command to "go and make disciples". We study and practice within
