porch communities

PULL UP A SEAT.
In a PORCH group, you’ll gather weekly with 6-12 peers who can quickly become your close friends. Together, you’ll discuss your faith through prayer, simplicity, community, service and servant leadership. If you are interested in deepening your faith and making faith a more central part of your life, these groups are for you! While all the groups are similar in their purpose, some have a special focus such as Bible Study, Sunday Scripture, Retreat Continuation and more.

Contact Allison Leigh at 229.4813 or leighalp@notes.udayton.edu for more information or for help finding just the right PORCH community for you. Or contact the leader of any of the PORCH groups below:
