Small groups at Raleigh Mennonite allow us to connect beyond just Sunday morning. Fellowship is a key part of being community.
RMCers are part of a wide variety of groups that meet together, some more formally, others pretty informal. Some meet weekly, others less frequently. For more information about any of these groups email [email protected] or use the Contact Us form.
