Thrive is our Wednesday night program. We will start with worship 6:30-7 p.m. then break out into Thrive groups 7-7:45 p.m. This includes nursery for pre-kindergarten, children (kindergarten to fifth grade) and youth (grades 6-12). There are multiple choices for adults.

Children will split off to join a fun-filled program. If you have questions, please email Children's Director Lance Patrick at lpatrick@communityumc.net.

Youth will gather with Pastor Katilyn Gibson for study and fun. If you have any questions, please contact her at kgibson@communityumc.net.

Thrive adult groups focus on four areas of study:

• Small group conversations about the weekly worship Scripture and theme
  
• Learn and practice spiritual disciplines
  
• Join Disciple's Path to learn about being a disciple from a United Methodist perspective
  
• Learn about the social principles of the United Methodist Church

To learn more or ask questions, contact Pastor Curtis Olsen at colsen@communityumc.net.

United Methodist Women

UMW members work to support missions locally and around the world, to have fellowship, and to know God. The group's monthly meeting includes social time, refreshments, business and programs. UMW usually meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6 or 6:45 p.m., except for the Saturday December breakfast (see the church calendar for dates). 

All women of the church are welcome to attend UMW meetings and activities. For more information about UMW, check out the UMW bulletin board in the hallway between adult classes and the Worship Center. You can learn about statewide events, our next meeting and take a brochure to learn more about our local unit at Community.

The activities in recent years include a spiritual growth retreat, volunteering to assemble food packages at the local Food Bank, missions classes at Central Methodist University, breakfast with United Methodist Men, and more.
