Home Groups

Considered by some to be the traditional Small Group, our home groups are facilitated by Damascus Road leaders and meet in homes or online. These gatherings typically include Bible study, discussion, prayer and a time of relaxed fellowship. New groups welcome!
Women's Ministry
Connect & Learn
We believe that no woman should journey life alone. Through the laughter and tears we help each other grow closer to God and women in our community. We offer multiple opportunities for women to connect with other women every season of the year at times that are convenient to most schedules.
SISTER 2 SISTER
This women’s group does a book/Bible study for 6-10 weeks studying various topics, offering both morning and evening online sessions. Sister 2 Sister is a great way to get to know women of all ages, experience mentor-ship and build friendships while pouring over thoughtfully chosen, biblically-based curriculum.
During the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Sister 2 Sister is now meeting online and through Facebook. Follow us on Facebook now and connect in community by searching DR Women.
NEW! Sign up for an exciting book study, book club, or a women's connecting event coming this Summer.
Men's Ministry
Zoom Groups
Join one of the new men's online groups to connect during the COVID-19.
Since restaurants and bars are closed please consider going virtual. ZOOM would be an easy free means of holding your table from the safety of your own home. For those already in a group, contact your group leader about how your group will be holding meetings. JOIN A MEN'S ONLINE GROUP
MEN'S BREAKFASTS
Join other men from Damascus Road for a hearty home-cooked breakfast and an engaging time together as we all seek out the right next step in our faith journey (social distancing practiced).
Upcoming breakfast dates will be updated on our Events page.
YOUNG ADULTs GROUPS
18-30 Years Old
For single or married young adults age 18 to 30, who are college or career-focused, our Small Groups are designed for you to meet people and dig into God’s Word. We gather weekly in homes or online in the Frederick, Damascus, and Mt. Airy regions.
Haven
For families affected by disabilities
Haven is a community where everyone is welcome: children, teens and adults with disabilities, along with their families and friends. The entire family is encouraged to participate, learn, have fun and share life together. In God's eyes, we are all God's special people with needs.
After enjoying Saturday evening worship together in the auditorium with our church family at 5pm, Haven relocates to the Youth/Haven room for joyful play, sharing, music, video, art, prayer and Bible study. A simple, life-changing message is taught through adaptive teaching techniques using a Jesus-centered, interactive approach. The Haven desires to actively facilitate inclusion of individuals with disabilities into other church programs as appropriate.
Join the HAVEN online private community on Facebook by searching DRCC Haven.
