Adult Ministries
Discover the joy of serving and connecting with others in ministry at Christ Church.
DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY
Life Groups
Life Groups at Christ Church are small groups of 7-12 people who meet throughout the Vero Beach/Sebastian areas on various weekdays and evenings. The group members socialize in a casual setting but also have a built-in spiritual component that serves to deepen their knowledge and experience of God and share in faith-building disciplines.
The smaller group size is ideal for those seeking opportunities to meet friends and grow in the Christian faith without being overwhelmed with social pressure or expectations.
For more information, please email the Church Office or call Fr. Hunter Van Wagenen at 772.562.8670.
Thursday Morning Bible Study
Among this diverse group are working professionals who are able to attend the Bible Study on Thursdays from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. The study includes in-depth teaching and open discussion, and all materials are provided at each class.
Women’s Bible Study
This group’s diversity in age and life experiences promotes spiritual growth and rich friendships. Always open to newcomers, a previous knowledge of the Bible is not required. They meet weekly on Wednesdays at 9:30 - 11:00 am from September through June.

Women of all ages and stages need a break from the routine hustle and busyness that comes with our modern culture. We meet on Wednesday mornings from September through June for a time of encouragement and Bible study.
We also host special events or join other local ministry events and organizations that support the social, emotional, spiritual needs and interests of women. For more information, please email Deacon Kim Allen or call 772.562.8670.
Daughters of the Holy Cross
The Daughters of the Holy Cross is a religious order of women who take a solemn, life-long vow to live faithfully by a Rule of Prayer and a Rule of Service.
These women have committed their lives to the work and service of Jesus Christ and they pray daily for our church, its clergy, the Order, and others in need. Guided by the Holy Spirit, they share the gospel message through word and deed and enjoy their bond of sisterhood.
For more information on the meetings or joining the Order, please email the Church Office or call 772.562.8670.
Military Moms Prayer Group
This interdenominational prayer group consists of mothers and other women whose loved ones are enlisted in the US Military.
They meet year-round at Christ Church weekly on Thursdays at 5:00 pm in the Community Center to pray for the troops, support one another during difficult separations, and find solace knowing their desire to protect their loved ones can be accomplished in the spiritual realm through prayer.
Military Moms is open to the community and always welcomes guests and new members. For more information, visit their website or call Pam Proctor at 772.231.2221.
