Deborah Circle is a women’s group at HUMC. It is open to all women who are interested in increasing their faith, strengthening connections to one another, and offering support to those in need. Deborah Circle performs services to the church internally – through such activities as: helping with the Pumpkin patch, SpringFest and Easter egg hunt; and externally – through serving opportunities such as Emmanuel Dining Room and Urban Promise.
Deborah Circle meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 10am, from September through June, to strengthen our spiritual lives and fellowship through prayer, devotions, and special programs.
Dorcas Circle is a group of women meeting monthly to grow in their faith, serve others, and enjoy a time of fellowship. All women affiliated with Hockessin Church are invited to join this group, regardless of age. If you are looking for Christian fellowship, friendship, study and service, please feel free to contact Joyce Cook for more information.
Men’s Groups
Hockessin Church men meet monthly on Saturdays and enjoy breakfast together in Faith Hall. We are involved in missions through construction projects and by working with organizations such as Family Promise and Urban Promise. All men affiliated with the church are invited to be a part of this small group.
A place to study, build faith, serve others, and grow friendships.
- Study: We use video, scripture, and print resources to guide discussions that help us to learn from one another
- Serve: We regularly schedule time to serve others, with projects that have included home repairs, Emmanuel Dining Room volunteering, and helping with church improvements
- Friendships: We get to know one another, pray for each other, and support each other
- Faith: We learn the beliefs, behaviors, and journey of faith from one another
Meets Thursday mornings at 6:30am in Rm 23 and on Zoom. Church members should contact Jeff Fetterman for more information.
Bible Study Groups
There is a Bible study available to our congregation members and guests almost every day of the week. Some groups meet at the church, either on Sunday morning or during the week, while others gather at the homes of group leaders. These study groups often use videos or books by popular Christian authors, in addition to scripture, to guide discussions and facilitate mutual learning.
Social & Recreational Groups
Social and recreational activities at Hockessin UMC foster personal relationships and shared experiences, helping to build our Christian community. Fun and relaxation are as much a part of our lives as spiritual growth.
Our current groups include Pickleball players, board game enthusiasts, and parents of adult children who enjoy outings, as well as sponsoring and assisting at church events.
