Soul Circles

  • Voices Reclaimed Life Group

    Saturdays, starting Jan 17 (every other Saturday)

    | 9:30–11:00 AM | Walker Smith Building

    Our next journey together takes us into Separation of Church and Hate, a thoughtful, funny, and deeply heartfelt look at how faith and democracy can coexist without losing their integrity. John Fugelsang invites us to peel back the layers of American history, scripture, and modern politics to rediscover a truth many of us already feel in our bones: Christianity is at its best when it leads with love, humility, and freedom—not power.

    Facilitated by Kay Brown. Through thoughtful conversation and shared reflection, we’ll reclaim our voices and rediscover our power—individually and as a community.

  • Enneagram

    Sundays, starting Feb 1 (12 Weeks)

    | 3–5:00 PM | Walker Smith Building

    The Enneagram offers a powerful way to explore these questions. It’s a map of nine distinct personality types that helps us understand our deepest motivations, strengths, and blind spots. More than a self-help tool, it’s a spiritual pathway toward compassion—for ourselves and others.

    This February, 2026, we’re launching a brand-new Enneagram Soul Circle facilitated by Jelka Jonker, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who brings a rich blend of professional insight and personal passion to her teaching.

Life Groups

  • There is a Hiking Life Group, Co-led by Joyce Nugent and Richard Clapp. Our Hikers’ Life Group will meet for six weeks on Friday mornings. Looking to connect with others, experience God in nature, and get some exercise? Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just starting out, you are welcome. Together, we’ll explore the beautiful trails of the Coachella Valley, grow in faith, and build lasting relationships. For more information, please contact Joyce at jrn.cfs@gmail.com.

    Note: If you signed up earlier, there is no need to sign up again.

  • There is an ongoing Men’s Breakfast, which functions as a Life Group in many ways: each Wednesday morning at 7:15 am at Rick’s Restaurant on the corner of Palm Canyon and Vista Chino.  Doug Oostydk is the group organizer - open to all - just show up!

  • Our Women’s Lunch Fellowship aka "Lunch Ladies" meets a couple of times a month and has grown quite popular. Lunch Ladies meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month at 11:30 am.  The first Monday is at various locations; the third Monday is always a brown bag lunch in the Walker Smith building on the church campus. You'll find soulmates in spirit among us, alongside laughter, camaraderie, and meaningful connections.
