Adult Ministries

Sometimes called Small Groups or Life Groups, Community Groups at Christ Church are weekly fellowship groups that meet throughout Vero Beach on various weekdays and evenings. The groups focus on a topical Bible study, reflect on a sermon or teaching, or share some other faith-building discipline.

The group size of 7-12 people allows for more direct sharing and is ideal for those seeking opportunities to meet new friends and grow in the Christian faith.

For more information, please email the Church Office or call Fr. Hunter Van Wagenen at 772.562.8670.

Among this diverse group are working professionals who are able to attend the Bible Study on Thursdays from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. The study includes in-depth teaching and open discussion, and all materials are provided at each class.

This group’s diversity in age and life experiences promotes spiritual growth and rich friendships. Always open to newcomers, a previous knowledge of the Bible is not required. They meet weekly on Wednesdays at 9:30 - 11:00 am from September through June.
