Small Groups and Communities
Middle Church's programming consists of rich and meaningful education opportunities for all ages. Whatever your background, whether you are looking to deepen your knowledge of the Bible, actively seek justice-making strategies for the disenfranchised, or learn more about yourself in relationship to God, we have something for you.
You might sing in the gospel choir, volunteer for a food ministry, or join a community of artists working together for social justice. You might study with a group, lead a class, or just spend time being with others on a spiritual journey. For more information, explore our detailed program descriptions.
