Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups at FBG
An affinity group is a small group of people that share a common interest or an “affinity” in a wide range of hobbies, activities, or life stages.
Deepen your friendships across the congregation by having fun and exploring new hobbies in an affinity group!
This is a great way to connect with new people while doing something you love. Come join the fun!
The following groups are currently active. Stay tuned for Bridge and Mahjong groups forming Spring 2026!
