Life is Better in Community.
One component of our mission as a church is to cultivate community within the body. We are a family, and we are stronger together. 

Find a group (or two, or three!) to strengthen connection, grow community, and develop deeper relationships. Let's do life together!

Another Opportunity for Connection - SOULfuel.
What is SOULfuel?
SOULfuel is an opportunity for adults within our church body (from all age groups and walks of life) to get to know one another better and build relationships by connecting over dinner. Once you sign up, you will be matched with a host couple to make a group of 7 or 8 other adults. *Your host will contact you about what you can bring to contribute toward the meal one week prior to the dinner. You are welcome to sign up for each dinner that is offered . . . in fact, we'd love for you to do so! 

Please feel free to reach out to Jessica Sanford jess@fortdsm.org with any questions you may have. 

Dinners are held once each Fall and Spring.
