Community Groups

QUEST SUMMER COMMUNITY PLAY

As most of our regular community groups break for the summer, it’s our hope that community and fellowship would continue through various "C.Play" groups focused on different activities throughout the city. Listed below are the current groups, but as schedules can change, please be sure to contact the leader ahead of time if you plan to drop by. C.Play groups are starting the week of July 1- let’s play!

• Outdoors

Enjoy the beautiful Seattle summer by kayaking on Lake Union (7/19), hiking on the Olympic Peninsula (8/2), and rock climbing (8/16). All levels of experience are welcome! To sign up and get more info about times and costs, contact Chris or Meggie at .

• Basketball

Ready for some hoops? Join us for full-court basketball, fellowship, and missed layups at Loyal Heights Community Center each Thursday from 7-9pm. All skill levels are welcome! For more info, contact Nathan at .

• Moms & Kids

Join moms and kids for park and craft days! This summer all moms and kids are invited to join the moms group fellowship for park dates around the city. We will meet every 2-3 weeks on Wednesdays from 10-12 at different playgrounds around town. Three kids craft days are scheduled at Andrea Pannell’s home in Lynnwood through the summer as well. Please contact Katey Hage for dates and locations at .

• Film

In the past year, Quest has screened films like LUMO, the story of rape victims in the Congo, and Invisible Children, which tells of child soldiers in Uganda. There are tons of great documentaries out there highlighting issues of injustice taking place both locally and globally, so let's watch some together this summer! If there is a film you'd like to have shown or are interested in helping out with the screenings to come, please contact Kate at .

• Soccer

This outdoor, introductory volleyball league will be for recreational fellowship, but will also have rules and a league ending tournament to crown a champion. League play will be six person Co-Ed (3-M/3-F), loosely based on AVP rules. All skill levels are welcome! Games will be played at Greenlake near the intersection of Greenlake way & NE 71st St on Sunday afternoons 2:30-4:30PM beginning July 6th. and ending August 24th. Contact Deanne Liu () or Anthony Nguyen () for more info.

We are studying the Book of Ruth as we fellowship together and share food, prayer, and scripture. We have a number of families with children, along with other married couples - all are welcome!

How do we nurture and grow the Fruits of the Spirit in our lives, when much of contemporary Western culture seems to be inhibiting their development?  We will read a book by Philip Kenneson called Life on the Vine and study relevant Bible passages.

The aim of our group is to develop community and foster relationships as we study the book of Luke together. Join us as we share our lives, eat dessert, and study Scripture.

This group desires to be intentional: in the way we live in community with each other and the ways we can love and support our neighbors. We will be digging deeper into what it means to be a "Christian Community" in the larger context of our South Seattle neighborhoods and how we can encourage each other in serving our neighbors. You don't have to live in South Seattle, but we do spend a lot of time talking about our local community!

We will be studying the book of John. While we're open to adding new members, we do ask for a weekly commitment for the sake of continuity and depth. After the study, there is also an hour or so dedicated to prayer. Come for the study, prayer, or both!

RENOVARE Spiritual Formation Groups are small fellowships that exist for mutual support, mutual encouragement, and mutual accountability as we participate in our transformation into Christlikeness. Drawing their format from small group models that span the centuries- from the Benedictines in the 4th Century to today- participants in these gatherings ask one another in various forms the old question, "How is it with your soul?" This year we will be going through the Renovare Spiritual Formation Guides (Prayer and Worship).

Our theme is Intentional Christlikeness: taking on the character of Christ in our everyday relationships. Through open reflection and mutual encouragement, we help each other in our journeys toward spirit change, working through practical, achievable daily steps that culminate in bringing our new heart to bear in a significant relationship. A hearty appetizer is served each week, with the occasional s'mores-fest around a fire pit on Alki Beach!

Feeling dry in the middle of the week?  Join us for an hour or so of worship and prayer followed by fellowship time afterwards.  We won't be serving dinner, but we will have great snacks!

Throughout history, Jesus Christ has been respected as a highly influential leader and teacher.  But when Jesus asked His disciples, "Who do you say I am?" he was seeking to be recognized as something more. Our study of John will explore its implications for lasting transformation in our lives.

This group will be gathering to explore what it means to be in deeper friendship that comes from Christian community. In addition to growing in our relationships, we will learn about what it means to engage holistic mission in our neighborhoods and our everyday lives.

The purpose of this group is to meet, talk, enjoy a meal together, laugh, and pray. We will focus on the Interbay community, but all are welcome.

This focus group is for those struggling with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues. If you are looking for a confidential setting within a faith community to find support, prayer, study, and the opportunity to share your story, please consider coming out to this group. We will be studying the book Cry of the Soul by Dan Allender.

From March 11th - May 27th, this 12 week interactve Bible Study focuses on the letters of John. Come join other Questers as we study scripture, share in fellowship, and pray together.

 

The moms group will be reading Shepherding a Child's Heart by Ted Tripp as a basis for an ongoing discussion about parenting, family relationships, and moms' needs. Time is spent sharing personal stories, praying for one another, eating and relaxing together, and digging in to scripture.

Are you new at Quest or just trying to get plugged in? The Newcomers group hosts a free dinner + Q&A on the first Wednesday of every month, and then meets the following week in a home for a discussion about Christian community and how you can get connected to C.Groups and other ministries at Quest. Take the next step towards Community!
