FAQ's about summer hangouts

Have fun - Build Relationships

What are hangouts?
Hangouts are a great opportunity to build friendships around common interests and hobbies. Whether you enjoy sports, food, music, crafts, or simply connecting with others, Hangouts are designed to help people build relationships and feel more connected to the church family.
Where do hangouts meet?
Hangouts meet throughout the week in a variety of locations including homes, restaurants, church facilities, athletic fields, and other spots throughout our community.
When do hangouts meet?
Each Hangout schedule is a little different depending on the group and leader. Some meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, and meeting times vary between mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Each Hangout listing includes meeting details so you can find one that fits your schedule.
Can I join more than one hangout?
Absolutely! We just encourage you not to overextend yourself. We recommend joining no more than two Hangouts so you can fully invest in building relationships throughout the summer.
When do hangouts begin and end?
Summer Hangouts begin in early June and run through August 8.
How do I signup for a hangout?
Below each Hangout option is a sign-up button. Clicking the button will open an email to the Hangout leader so you can let them know you plan to attend and receive any additional details.
Who do I contact about hangouts?
You can contact each Hangout leader directly using the contact information listed with their group.
