CONNECT GROUPS 2025-2026

SUNDAY DINNERS

Every Sunday, we gather for dinner after the 5:30 service because we believe in the importance of connection and community. We come together to share a meal, meet new friends, and often join in prayer after the Awakening Service. No RSVP required. Just show up. Seriously! We can't wait to meet you - even if today is your first Sunday at EVERYDAY.

The goal of the group is to have all believers feel equipped for all aspects of the work of ministry (Ephesians 4:12).
