Connect with Dawson

We want to invite all recent high school graduates, as well as current college students, to join us for a new College Lifegroup. We will meet Sunday mornings at 11:00 am in the “Upper Room” above the Grief Counseling House (directly across the street from the Dawson sign on the front lawn).

Lifegroup map

Whether you go to 9:40 a.m. Sunday School, Journey service, or Sanctuary service, you are welcome to join this small group.  Food will be provided.  Because many of you are going away to school, we know you can’t be here each and every Sunday, so week to week Bible studies will be independent of one another.

Come whenever you are in town to eat, hang out, and discuss God’s word. 

For more information, contact Jeff Hindman at jeff.hindman@dawsonchurch.org or Tanya Hindman at tanya@revolutionministries.com.
