Support Groups
To support this journey, a monthly conference-wide support group will meet via Zoom on the second Wednesday of each month from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Facilitated by members of the CDSF, these gatherings offer encouragement, space to reflect on your experience, and opportunities to share insights with others. (Additional local or online groups may be added.)
Please note that this is a support group—not a Bible study. Facilitators will guide conversation around what participants are learning, what is challenging, and how the practice is shaping their faith.
