Interest Groups
Connect through Shared Interests
Do Life Together. Whether you're hitting the golf course, shooting hoops with other dads, planning a trip, crafting, or diving into a Christian non-fiction book club, our Interest Groups are all about connecting over shared passions.
Got an idea for a group? This ministry grows when you share your passions! If you have an idea for a new group or would like to step up and start one, please contact me. I’d love to chat and help you get it off the ground!

FORE! FATHERS
A community for young dads who want to build friendships, enjoy the game of golf, and grow together in faith and life. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or just picking up a club, Fore! Fathers is a relaxed, come-as-you-are gathering designed to fit real life. Once a month, we'll meet up for a round of gold, spend time at the driving range, or catch a tournament together. Some nights we'll add dinner into the mix. If you're a young dad looking for community, a little competition, and a lot of camaraderie, Fore! Fathers is for you.

HOCKEY
Calling all adult hockey players regardless of skill level. From casual weekend players to those who still dream of their shot at the Stanley Cup. Join the upcoming White's Chapel Ice Hockey Team for a great opportunity to compete, work out, and connect with others. We're still working out the team name, rink, and game nights (hey, miracles on ice take time), but what's certain is that we'll have fun, fellowship, and maybe even score a few goals.

INTREPID TRAVELERS
Our travel club creates stress-free domestic and international group trips for approximately 30 to 40 travelers. We handle the planning from start to finish including destination research, hotels, transportation, tours, group meals, schedules, payment deadlines, travel insurance, and traveler communications. Our travelers simply pay, pack, and show up ready to enjoy the experience.
​
God created an amazing world, our goal is to see as much of it as possible, as long as we can travel. Traveling is much more fun with friends. We've planned 13 International and domestic trips so far and have plans for many more to come. We will be going on one international trip (tour or cruise) each year and a least 1-2 domestic trips each year. Travelers get to vote on trips from a few presented. We will meet every other month. If you're interested, please send us an email.
