Small groups and music ministries are an important aspect of any church. Here at the Spearfish UCC Congregational Church, we know that our people grow in faith by involvement in these smaller organizations. Our choir and various music enhances our traditional worship, and our small groups provide study and fellowship opportunities, and are the hands and feet as we serve others. But, our members tell us these groups become family and are your support system for life.
Although you will see our current offerings below, anyone is encouraged to start their own group. Groups can range from deep theological study, to service work, bible studies, musical offerings, simply fellowship time, or anywhere in between. Got questions? Call and visit with Pastor Todd or with Shirley Brost, our office manager, at 605-642-8253, for more information.
