Special Interest Community Groups

What are your interests? Are you a nurse? A teacher? Passionate for dance? Interested in studying a foreign language? Maybe your hobby is gardening or woodworking. Perhaps you're an avid cyclist or a political activist. If you're like most of us today, your life is full—too full to pursue all the things you'd like to invest in.

If you find it difficult to lend your time and energy to developing your special interests and participating in community group life, maybe you should consider doing both at the same time.

The reasons comunity group leaders give for pulling together special interest cells—or support and equipping groups —are as diverse as the leaders themselves. Whether time is in short supply, or interest is in high demand, special interest cells provide common ground, structure and purpose, as well as the joys of community and the benefits of personal development.

Special interest community groups provide a great vehicle to reach out to your neighbors and coworkers. Below are a few examples of some of Belmont's special interest groups. Maybe they'll spark your own ideas. If you'd like to start a special interest community group, email the Community Life Office.

The C. S. Lewis group , led by Peggy Haase, meets at 3 PM on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month at the downtown Nashville Library, Provence Café, and occasionally in homes. We love books—reading, discussing, and writing books! Our interest in British authors bonded us together initially, starting with JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. After reading these authors, we traveled to Oxford University to walk in their creative shoes, while also enjoying the English countryside and each other's company. On returning, we explored the artistic mind as we read The Mind of the Maker by Dorothy Sayers. We are currently reading God in the Dock, a collection of essays by C. S. Lewis, and look forward to pursuing more great works together this year. Visitors and new members are welcome to our group. If you love books, authors, and the creative arts, give us a call.
