Young Adult Sunday School
Sundays | 10:00 a.m. | Room 316
This class is designed for young adults in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties who are navigating work, relationships, vocation, and faith in the midst of busy lives. Led by Brian Roberson, the group is currently studying The Life You’ve Always Wanted by John Ortberg, focusing on spiritual practices that help shape a life rooted in grace, purpose, and attentiveness to God. This is a space for meaningful discussion, practical faith, and building community with others who are walking through similar seasons of life. Fondly called the "INKS! (Income, No Kids)"— this group is perfect for young-ish professionals looking for a small group.
College & Young Adult Small Group
Wednesdays | 6:30 p.m. | Room 318
Our Wednesday Night Small Group brings together college students and young adults for an evening of fun and discipleship. Our current study centers on identity, purpose, and calling, and is being led alongside Leslie Rogers, the University of Georgia’s Director of Learning and Development. Our group offers a meaningful intersection of faith, connection, and personal formation. Participants are invited to come early for the free Wednesday Night Dinner at 5:30pm—always free for college and graduate students—look for us in the middle of the room!
Wednesday Night Dinner is a churchwide meal in Hancock Hall, and College Students eat free! Please register for a meal if you plan to join us so that we can be prepared for everyone. Please type COL2025 where it asks for a code.

This Bible study is for men in their mid-twenties and thirties who are seeking intentional community, spiritual grounding, and space to wrestle honestly with faith and life. Gathering on Thursday mornings, the group offers Scripture-centered conversation, mutual encouragement, and practical faith for everyday living. If you’re looking for a steady rhythm of connection and growth with other men in a similar season, reach out to Rev. Montana Hamby for details and next steps.

Sunday Lunch
Most Sundays at Noon-- stay after worship for a homecooked meal, table discussions from the sermon, and time to hang out with other students and young adults! Sunday Lunch is our connection and gathering point. We have small groups and Bible studies throughout the week and events throughout the semester, but Sunday Lunch is our chance for everyone to gather together, create lasting friendships, and experience a place that feels like home. Grab a friend and come experience the feeling of welcome and a taste of home with us!
Sunday Lunch Returns January 18! We will have lunch together most Sundays in the Spring.
