The first Sunday of each month we meet at 5:00pm for a Dinner Gathering. There is no 9:00am Gathering on the first Sunday of the month.
Our Sunday Gatherings are held in The Hut which is located behind Cornelius Presbyterian Church at 21209 Catawba Ave in Cornelius. The parking lot is right off Church Street.

First Tuesdays at 7pm
Find community in the pages of a good book. With a new selection every month, we gather to discuss queer stories and hold space for one another. This is a safe space to discuss difficult, adult topics and the nuanced experiences of LGBTQ+ life. While our topics and literature focus on queer stories, everyone is welcome from those who identify as LGBTQ+ to our community’s supportive allies!

This new group takes a wide-angle view of the human experience. We gather wisdom from diverse fields including spirituality, science, psychology, and philosophy to discover how these disciplines relate to one another. Join us as we move beyond narrow definitions and explore how different sources of truth can work together.

Third Tuesdays at 7pm
Come ready to play, laugh, and connect. Each month, we will play chill, cooperative, and easy-to-learn board games that put conversation first. It’s not about winning or having all the answers, it’s about enjoying each other's company, sharing perspectives across the table, and building friendships in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. We are excited about this evolution of Community Convos.
