Frequently Asked Questions
The Book Club meets every few months to discuss a different book agreed upon by the group. Each time is a fresh start, so you don’t have to have come before to join us!
– What do I need to prepare? Simply read the book and come ready to enjoy a discussion among friends.
– Where do you meet? We meet at the Durty Bull Brewery near the baseball stadium, at a table outdoors. The environment is relaxed.
– Who should come out? All are welcome. You will enjoy this if you are looking to engage in a fun discussion on interesting theological texts or if you self-identify as a “nerd”.
Contact Pastor Drew with questions.

Alzheimer’s Support Groups play a vital role in a caregiver’s well-being. They offer something you can’t find in books or casual conversations—a blend of shared experience, emotional support, and practical knowledge.
It’s also a place to simply exhale. Caregivers often feel more comfortable opening up to others who aren’t directly involved—people who truly understand and listen without judgment, because they’ve “been there” too.
