Dual Citizens<\/h3>\n

We believe that as disciples of Jesus Christ, we hold dual citizenship both in heaven (Eph. 3:17-21) and on earth (Romans 13). Therefore we joyfully recognize our identities and name our small group as such.<\/p>\n

The Dual Citizens small group meets every other Saturday from September to June. We pray and study God’s Word when we meet. From time to time, we also celebrate events such as birthdays, thanksgiving potluck, Lunar New Year, etc. During Summer months, we enjoy fellowship such as BBQ and pool party together<\/p>\n

For more information, please contact us. We love to get to know you and share God’s stories with you!<\/p>\n

Northward<\/h3>\n
Northward is an adult small group that meets every two weeks on Friday evenings in Ardenwood.\u00a0 (Due to the pandemic, we are currently\u00a0connecting online every week Friday at 8 pm, alternating between regular Bible studies and fellowship\/prayer weeks.)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What joins us together is our desire to know and experience Christ more fully, in the Word and in our lives – to share together in the adventure of following Jesus, and to “taste and see that the Lord is good” by putting his word into action in our lives week by week.\u00a0 We seek for our community life to be one of open-hearted fellowship that reflects the welcome and compassion we’ve found in Christ.\u00a0 Our meetings are small and casual, usually about four people.\u00a0 We embrace being a miscellaneous group of believers – all ages and life stages are welcome.<\/div>\n

Young Adults (Fremont)<\/h3>\n

In December 2019, three twentysomethings met at boba shop on a Friday night and decided to study Revelations together. Since then, a pandemic has occurred, more twentysomethings (and up) have joined us, and we have grown in our understanding of the steadfastness and mercy of God through His word and His faithfulness to us during these chaotic times. Sometimes, we are full of energy to discuss Scripture. Other times, we are exhausted at the end of a long work week. And from time to time, we end up talking about #trendy things we are getting into like participating in #inktober, making homemade #sourdoughbread, and #kpop and #kdramas. We are learning, growing, and navigating the Word and the world together every Friday night via Zoom. Come and join us as we live life together! All are welcome.<\/p>\n
