Church Groups
We have several types of small groups at Good Samaritan, one for every age and inclination. If you are interested in forming a new group or joining an existing one, please email .
Young Adult Group
Our young adult group meets every other week, in person when possible, or virtually when necessary, to talk about their lives and their spiritual questions, and to pray together.
discipleship Groups
Groups of 4-10 people meet weekly or bi-weekly to discuss readings, share about their spiritual lives, and to pray for each other.
Sacred Ground Groups
Good Samaritan's members often participate in a 10-session series on racial reconciliation created by The Episcopal Church. It is called Sacred Ground, and it is a highly transformative experience. New groups start throughout the year.
In October 2024, Good Sam will also host LARK, a one-day follow-up workshop offered by the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, which focuses on our local racial and ethnic history and examines relevant issues through multiple stories and viewpoints.
Book groups
There are multiple book groups that meet monthly.
Men's Group
Men of the church have weekly meetings to discuss the Bible, other books, and their lives. They also meet once a month on Saturdays, and they typically go on retreat together each year. Along with the Women's Group, they organize fundraisers and support church projects.
women's group
Women of the church organize outings such as a yearly Chinese New Year meal as well as a bi-annual major fundraiser. They also help to put on the annual Women's Tea. Along with many other members of the church, they are active in outreach and fellowship.
Groups for All Interests
But wait, there's more! We encourage groups of all types, inviting congregation members, neighbors, and anyone with an interest. Our Walking Group explores nature trails and city strolls all around the county. We typically enjoy a variety of summertime groups, such as Beginning Tai Chi. If you have a favorite activity or interest, please let us know!
Local Community Groups
Many local community groups meet on the Good Sam campus throughout the week. Visit our Calendar of Events to see what's coming up next.
One example is San Diego Gunpla, which meets in Roetter Hall every Friday from 5 pm to 10 pm to celebrate and enjoy Asian culture. Founded by Steven Chung while he was a student at UC San Diego, this group is now a gathering of friends of all ages and backgrounds who meet to build models, anime, and community. All are welcome! Visit the San Diego Gunpla Facebook group, or contact Steven Chung, Founder and Administrator, at 858-337-7699 to learn more.
