2017: Men
It's on our hearts to gather men who are serious about spiritual growth twice a month on Thursday evenings (2nd and 4th Thursdays) 7:30-9pm for the purpose of serious discipleship. It will run for 10 months February-November (20 sessions). We are calling this the “Making of a Man” group. This is open to any men who regularly attend the church.

Over 40 Circle
The over 40 circle is a small group of people over the age of 40, which has been doing some sort of gathering about once a month to build relationships. Read the weekly email for times and locations!
Family Circle
This gathering is for parents raising children, and meets on the last Sunday of each month for fellowship and parent equipping. Keep an eye on the weekly newsletter for times and locations!
Young Adults Circle
We define young adults at Ren as anyone under 40. The regular gathering happens most Sundays at 6:30pm in the sanctuary. It's a time of discussion and worship. The young adults also do a number of other things throughout the month such as house parties, worship nights, outings and so on. Contact us if you'd like to be on their email list to hear about happenings.
Together conference
One of the most exciting things of the year is happening Fri-Sat October 21-22. Dozens of Rhode Island churches over the past year have been planning a special gathering of churches across the region specifically to fuel a movement of prayer and to equip Christians in the effort to advance the Gospel. I have had the privilege of being part of the planning team.
