Compass Groups
Finding the Intersection of Life and Faith
St. David’s Compass Groups meet in neighborhoods all over Austin with the purpose of sharing food and thoughts on faith and life. Post-meal conversations relate to faith and spirituality. Sample topics might include:
✶ The journey that brought you to church
✶ Scripture: fact, fiction, or inspiration?
✶ Challenging aspects of our faith
