First Olympia Friendship Hikers
The First Olympia Hiking Group provides an opportunity for outdoor lovers to enjoy fellowship together and experience the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Co-leaders Mae Wharton and Ginger Sarver plan a one day-hike each month, weather permitting. We welcome anyone who wishes to join the group as their schedules permit and we try to vary the difficulty of our hikes from easy trails to more moderate challenges. New members are always welcome and can be added to our email communication list by contacting the church office or Mae (maewharton@gmail.com) or Ginger (bgsarver@comcast.net).
Rainbow Fellowship
Rainbow Fellowship is a regular gathering for LGBTQ+ followers of Jesus, their loved ones and friends. We gather to laugh, do activities and have fun together! To be added to the contact list for the next upcoming gathering please contact Angelina Goldwell.
Widow & Widowers Fellowship
Widow and Widowers Fellowship is for anyone who has experienced the loss of a spouse to come together with others who share that life experience for friendship. To learn about the next W&WF event please contact Angelina Goldwell or subscribe to the church e-newsletter.
New Affinity Groups
We are launching our next round of Affinity Groups! Affinity Groups are groups that gather around a mutual interest (ex: Bible study, crafts, playing golf, volunteering together) for the purpose of strengthening relationships among our church family. You can be connected with an Affinity Group by filling out this form.
