Campus Fellowship
Join the McKinley Student Group for friendship and fellowship. We are a group of young adults in our late teens and twenties attending the University, Parkland, or working in the community that gathers together regularly, alternating food, fun, and community service.
Coffee & Conversation for Retirees
Retired men and women gather regularly, swapping stories and catching up on the news of the day. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 9:15 a.m. at the McKinley Foundation and Kinship Coffee House. McKinley folks receive a 50% discount on barista coffee drinks! To receive notices and reminders, fill out the contact us form.
Sunday Fellowship
We gather at 10:00 a.m. in the back of the Sanctuary for Sunday Morning Fellowship prior to worship. We also enjoy special receptions, Thanksgiving and Palm Sunday meals, and summer social events.
Working Adults “Stammtisch”
Are you part of the McKinley community but neither a student or retired? Then this new fellowship group is for you! We’d like to hang out once or twice a month after work “Stammtisch” style. (Stammtisch is a German word for a regular’s table at an establishment and a dedicated spot and time for that group). No RSVP, if you feel like joining that night, come on over and pull up a chair! If that day doesn’t work for you, come to the next one! Our first meeting will be Thursday 2/27, 5:30 to 7PM, at the Esquire Lounge in downtown Champaign. Please feel free to bring your partner or a friend. Can’t wait to meet up and connect!
