Authentic Connection

Small Group Ministry Covenant Groups

At UU Nashua, our Covenant Groups are composed of 8-10 individuals who meet monthly to share and explore issues more deeply than may be possible in other areas of congregational life. These are wonderful for both longtime members as well as anyone new to our community. We ask that you commit to attending your group’s gatherings from Jan – June as your group builds and grows connections each time you gather. We understand life and illness happen, and we ask you to make this a priority as best you are able.

For more information about Exploring Membership, email Director of Faith Formation
