Community Groups
Finding a Group
Beyond Sundays, Community Groups (C-Groups) allow us to connect, support, and grow as we learn to do life together. If you plan to visit a group, please be sure to contact the group leader ahead of time. Email addresses are listed for each group on this page. Please click on the corresponding day of the cgroup you are looking for.
Group Details
C-Groups are for anyone and they incorporate study, prayer, worship, and usually food. This year, all C-Groups will be studying the book of John together for the first part of the year. Our hope is that we would be able to go deeper into the scriptures as a church as well as growing in friendships and community. Most groups meet weekly but be sure to check the details of the group you intend to visit since there are variations.
Questions?
General questions can be sent to the C-Group Coordinators (cgroups@seattlequest.org).

Q Cafe Sunday Morning C-Group

Q Café
Getting out to a community group on a weekday evening can be difficult, particularly if you have a young family, but it’s great to be surrounded by a group of people to laugh, study, and pray with. This c-group aims to provide a low-key way to start Sunday in fellowship. Many of us have children, but we welcome anyone interested in doing life with us. Our older kids look after themselves in the café play area and the children’s ministry is also available during the 9:15am service. We will gather at 9:30am to study Scripture, share about the ups and downs of life, and to pray; we'll be done in plenty of time before the 11am service! Wheelchair accessible.
