Tuesday PM - Estuary Register
Day: Tuesday Time of day: Evening
Area of town: South Bellingham Lifestage: Any Adult Gender Mix: Mixed
Description: Estuary is a place where people come for conversation. Honest conversation. Not ideological warfare, but mutually respectful attempts to understand one another and to learn to appreciate different perspectives and viewpoints. Estuary is a place where different ideas and ideologies meet. Where participants allow themselves to be exposed to new ways of thinking, where listening may be as important as talking, where being open to feedback will force you to “hear yourself think”. We also believe that in doing so we form new friendships. We build a unique new community. We may learn to love one another in ways we didn’t realize were possible.
Led by Noah Martin, this group meets on Tuesday nights from 6:00-7:30pm at Hillcrest.
Tuesday PM - Kerin Register
Day: Tuesday Time of day: Evening
Area of town: North Bellingham Lifestage: Any Adult Gender Mix: Mixed
Description: There are professions many of us work in that are environments of darkness, stress, and general trauma. We often do this because of our love for people and love for Jesus. But how do we work well in these environments when the Gospel feels far away? There aren't easy answers, but this small group is a space where we can come together and explore how to love Jesus well when we work in hard places. We hope this can be a group where people can create deep relational bonds as we experience all parts of life together, balancing our work with the joy that Christ provides in community.
Led by Katie Kerin, this group meets on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm. The meeting time and day could be flexible based on group member's needs.

Day: Wednesday Time of day: Evening
Area of town: South Bellingham Lifestage: Any Adult Gender Mix: Mixed
Description: Together our small group will cultivate a safe and dignifying space for those who have walked, or are walking, through seasons of doubt, wrestling with theology, experiences of church hurt, or are examining their assumptions about God or the Bible or the Church. Even in the midst of the often chaotic and barren seasons of our walk, we cling to a hope of Christian community often by just bravely showing up. In this group we will practice Christian community in an authentic, vulnerable, and faithful way, making mistakes along the way. Ultimately we want to partner in the hard work of the Holy Spirit to be one even as the Lord is One. We will meet and share food the first three Wednesdays of the month from 6:30-8:00pm.
