Find Your People. Deepen Your Faith. Get Connected.
Faith is personal, but it’s not meant to be lived alone. At Gloria Dei, we offer groups for adults that help you grow spiritually, build friendships, and find support for life’s ups and downs.
Whether you’re looking for a Bible study near you, a small group community, or a place to serve, there’s something here for you.
A Place for Adults to Grow & Belong
No matter your life stage—whether you're navigating your 20s, looking for supportive Christian community, or hoping to stay engaged during retirement—Gloria Dei has a place for you.

You don’t have to figure out faith or life alone—let’s walk this journey together!
