Groups

CABLE groups

These groups of 6–10 people meet regularly to study, to worship, to serve others and to share life with each other. We call them CABLE groups because they are the primary way that the partners of Engedi embody A CABLE group is our church community on a small scale.our five life practices—Care, Acknowledge, Bless, Learn & Listen and Eat—together. Participating in a CABLE group is the best way for adults, college-age and older, to connect with others in the church and live out our values.

CABLE groups are made up of a diverse range of ages and people. A variety of groups is available for anyone looking for a deeper connection.

If you aren’t already plugged in to a CABLE group, you’re missing out. You won’t regret it.

Connection groups

Connection groups are formed when a group of people at Engedi shares a common interest or cause. These usually involve a shorter commitment than a CABLE group, so they are a pretty easy way to get a taste of group life at Engedi. A variety of groups gather throughout Holland and are available for anyone from new fathers to those who love movies or eating good meals.
