Fellowship and Support Groups

There are many opportunities for fellowship at Davis Community Church. Visitors and members are encouraged to visit or join the groups that interest you. For many people, it is the connections with other members of the community that makes DCC their home.

Fellowship Groups

Allcomers
Allcomers is an intergenerational fellowship group at DCC, most of whom have children or enjoy being around children. Regular activities have included potluck dinners, camping during the summer, a July 4th gathering, and Christmas caroling. The group is very flexible and you are welcome to come as often as you want or can. For more information, contact Rob or Gail Feenstra or the church office at 530-753-2894.

Allcomers’ Dinner Groups
The dinner groups bring together three or four families for monthly dinners at a time that is convenient to them. The dinners take place at the families homes, so it is a way to meet other DCC families in a small setting. The dinner groups are re-organized once or twice each year. For more information, contact Bob or Debbie Fung or the church office at 530-753-2894.

Boomers
A group of singles and couples in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. They generally meet the second Saturday of every month. The location varies, depending on the program. Past activities have included outdoor hikes, dinners at restaurants, evenings at the theater, and game nights. For more information, contact Virginia and James Harris or the church office at 530-753-2894.

It allows youth to engage in activities and dialogue which move them forward in their individual faith journeys, and seeks to incorporate youth into the intergenerational programs and ministries of the church.
