Coffee Hour

Grab a cup of coffee, a cookie or pastry, and chat for as long as you like after service every Sunday! Do you have the gift of hospitality?  Think about joining the coffee hour crew!

Community Bible Study

In addition to in-depth study of the Word of God, Community Bible Study (CBS) is a great way to meet people and fellowship on a weekly basis.  Messiah hosts a Women's CBS class on Thursday mornings during the school year, a co-ed class on Thursday evenings, as well as virtual onlne classes.  For more information on CBS, click here.

Home Groups

Experience New Testament Christianity by joining a Home Group, a gathering of people in the comfort of a home for the purpose of building and strengthening our fellowship with each other and our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Members of a home group share relevant biblical teaching; pray for, encourage and serve one another; and develop and use God-given gifts and talents for the building up of each other and the church. Messiah currently has four home groups in Chesapeake, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach. Click here to learn more about home groups.

Joyful Noise Club

Our club for young people with disabilities currently meets in person the second Tuesday of the month and online via Zoom the fourth Tuesday of each month.  In-person meetings start with pizza, then Club members hear a special message and enjoy a fun game or activity.  Online meetings include a teaching or message, followed by a time of discussion and sharing.  A game or activity is often included, where participants are asked to bring a special item or topic to share with everyone online.  Everyone is welcome to join the fun!  For more information, contact the church office.

Men's Minstry

Men need to form real and deep relationships with other men that will foster growth in Christ.  Join the men of Messiah at 10 am every first Saturday of the month for a time of learning, discussion, prayer, and fellowship.  The group meets outside (weather permitting -- bring a chair!) or in the Fellowship Hall.

Women's Ministry

Messiah's Women's Ministry focuses on building relationships and getting to know each other on a personal level, so we can truly walk with each other, carry each other's burdens, and develop lasting and supporting relationships with our sisters in Christ. Monthly meetings include Bible studies, discussions about life and God, prayer and encouragement to help all women grow in their walk with the LORD. 

The Women's Ministry hosts events throughout the year for women to come together in fellowship.  Past events have included a Spring Tea, Fall Brunch, and Christmas Lunch.  These are wonderful opportunities to meet and visit with the ladies of Messiah.

To keep up with the latest news and events, join the Women's Ministry Facebook group.

Fellowship Events

We like to spend time together!  In addition to the groups and occasions listed here, Messiah hosts a number of church-wide events throughout the year.*  These provide a great chance for people to come together to coordinate and attend celebrations that are open to all. 

Some of these events have included:

• Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

• Seder Passover Meal

• Pentecost Picnic
