Join a coMMUNITY GROUP
Community groups typically gather in the spring and fall. There are two kinds of Community Groups at OSC: Collective Tables and Learning Groups.
Collective Tables
Collective Tables are small dinner gatherings, usually in homes but sometimes in pubs or coffee shops. The purpose is to create safe and welcoming spaces where people can encourage each other on their spiritual journeys in non-judgemental relationships. The Collective Table Podcaqst is our dialogue starter for these groups, but the conversation is tyically free-flowing and often un-structured. These groups meet in-person around North San Diego County.
Learning Groups
Learning Groups gather around specific readings, topics, or practices. The purpose is to dig deeper. This may be centered on theological reading (like our Zoom Book Club), creative practices (like The Artist’s Way) or social justice issues (like “Living Undivided”). These groups usually meet in a virtual or hybrid format.
