Small Groups

Small groups are a great way to build closer relationships with members of our congregation.  We offer a variety of options, from Bible Studies, to Prayer Groups to Fellowship Gatherings.

To learn more about any of these opportunities, contact the church office at office@hillsboroumc.org.  We’ll get you the details including dates, times and locations, as well as contact information for group leaders.

Game Night

The fourth Friday of each month is our Game Night. We meet from 6:00 - 8:00 pm in the Fireside Room and Fellowship Hall. There are video games, board games and card games available for players young and old. We have games available or bring your favorite with you. There are also snack foods to share. Contact Perry for more information. We hope to see you there!

Women of Faith is a shared leadership, women’s book study group that meets from 10:00-11:30 on Tuesdays in the Fireside Room. We generally read 3-4 books each year. You are welcome to join us for as little or as many meetings as you wish—we all lead busy lives and do not expect perfect attendance. The books will be available in the church office beforehand, or you can pick one up at the first meeting. Payment is always optional—it helps offset the cost of the books, but is not required. We never want the book price to be a burden, or a limiting factor in your decision to join us! Contact Linda Clarkson for more information.

Season five of The Chosen will begin Sunday, February 1 at the earlier time of 3:00 PM to accommodate those who need to be home before dark. We will meet at Forest Grove UMC, alternating with Hillsboro the following week. The 45 minutes episode is followed by a light supper and discussion. See Carole Heun with questions

What a better way to connect with old friends and make new friends than over ice cream! We meet at 1:00 pm on the first Friday of the month. The location switches between the homes of two of our families with mobility challenges. (Contact the office to find the next meeting location.) Grab your favorite ice cream and join us for conversation and laughter!

Ice Cream Treaters

Come join the church family at Cornell Estates at 2:00 pm on the third Thursday each month (usually). Check the calendar for exact dates. We gather in the Cascade Room, which is on the second floor, on the right as you get off of the elevator. This is a time to share meaningful conversations, memories, laughter, a devotion and snacks.

Contemplative Practices

This group offers a gentle, welcoming space to slow down and be present. Together we explore simple contemplative practices—such as silence, breath prayer, guided reflection, and mindful listening—that help ground us in God’s presence and deepen our awareness of ourselves and one another. No prior experience is needed. Come as you are, whether you’re seeking rest, spiritual connection, or a quiet pause in the midst of a busy life.

Join us before worship in the Fellowship Hall for coffee, snacks, and conversation! We meet at 9:45 am for a multi-generational conversation/activity before our 11 o'clock worship service!
