Fill out a welcome Card
If you are considering CotC as your church home, a key step is to fill out a welcome card after joining us on Sunday. We will then send you all the info you need to connect at CotC, get you on our weekly newsletter, and send an invite to the next Newcomer’s Dinner.

Next Steps
Newcomers’ Dinner
Foundations GRoup
Neighborhood Groups
We host regular Newcomers’ Dinners that provide a helpful way to get to know more about our community, our mission, and our vision. Our hope is that you walk away from these dinners with a better sense of who we are and of what it would look like for you to become a part of this community. There are no strings attached - just come and enjoy the evening!
The Foundations Group is a ten-week course on Sundays morning which we run twice a year. It is a key space for catechesis, and is designed to form us in our shared faith, while giving the opportunity to spend time with CotC leaders, and to connect with other people who are new to CotC. Foundations is a requirement of membership, and we encourage everyone who calls CotC home to do Foundations.
Neighborhood Groups are weekly gatherings where we live out the reality of being a missional family in smaller community. These groups meet to share food, read Scripture, pray for one another, and grow in friendship. We have around twelve groups across the city which meet on different nights. We encourage to join the one nearest you! Click the button below to find the list of Neighborhood Groups.
