Friendship Group

Fellowship, faith and connection in a relaxed setting.

The Friendship Group is a warm, casual gathering where people come together to share testimonies, hear an encouraging message and support one another in prayer. It's a place to connect, be refreshed and enjoy good company.

About the Ministry

What is Friendship Group?

At CIC, we treasure the gift of community. The Friendship Group embodies this value through relaxed, welcoming gatherings centred on encouragement and connection.

Each meeting includes a message or testimony, a time of prayer together, and plenty of opportunity for conversation over tea and coffee. It's a space to be known, to share what God is doing in your life and to be uplifted by others walking the same path of faith.

The Friendship Group meetings are held in Finnish, reflecting our church's rich heritage. However, translation is always available through our wonderful volunteers, so non-Finnish speakers are warmly welcome to attend and participate fully.

Whether you're looking for fellowship, encouragement or simply a place to belong, the Friendship Group offers a gentle rhythm of connection and care.
