Our Community Groups


  • Climbing Your Family Tree

    Genealogy is a hobby that can last a lifetime. It can be done from home, at family reunions or on trips visiting places you or your family used to live. Beginners will learn how to get started, how to record and document your finds, and some of the pitfalls to avoid.  People already searching for ancestors can share their sources and tips and discuss their "brick walls".  


    Hosted by Chris Eddy

    When: First Wednesday each month

    Time: 1:00PM - 3:00PM

    Location: East Woods Church, Maple Room

  • Genesis Photography club

    Part educational, part fellowship, and all about photography, this community group is open to anyone interested in the art of photography. We will share photos, explore ways to take our photography to the next level, create exhibits, preserve old family photos, and take field trips together.

  • Girlfriends' Gathering

    Do you want to hang out with some very cool people and get to know each other better? Then come to our "Girlfriends Gathering." The girlfriends gather in individual homes and take turns co-hosting. Location and individual hosts will change. Watch this website or find out at service when and where. Gatherings occur periodically with the goal of getting to know each other and having some fun.

    Meet at the church for some bacon and other breakfast foods, along with a cup of coffee, and join a group of men for some convivial conversation and fellowship. Often, there is a devotional that focuses discussion or it may be free ranging. This is an ongoing monthly event.
