This is a fellowship group for those 55 and older. They meet regularly over many different activities and programs. Every 1^st Saturday of the month, they meet for Tai Chi and salad luncheon (no wonder they keep themselves so healthy!), trips to various places, and invite guest speakers who cover various subjects.

Small Groups (contact: Rob Yokota, Calina Okazaki, Tammy Shueh, smallgroups@sturge.org)

Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where members and visitors of Sturge can experience true fellowship with both God and other Christians so that lives can be changed into the likeness of Christ.

We have various small groups (of 6-12 people) that meet regularly at church and at the homes of members. Small groups are located in various locations in the Bay Area and meet on various evenings. They are where people share their lives, their prayers, and their encouragement. All groups share a mixture of Bible study and fun in an informal atmosphere. This is a great way to develop deeper relationships and connections with one another and explore your faith with others.

Japanese Language Ministry (contact: Fred Kawamoto, nichigo@sturge.org)

Sturge has been a second home for many of our Japanese congregation. Our church started when a group of Japanese speaking Christians began to meet in 1923, shepherded by Dr. Adolphus Sturge, M.D. They established the Japanese Independent Union Church of San Mateo in 1925 and met at the Congregational Church of San Mateo. For many years, they have been faithfully serving and fellowshipping with one another. Other than the 1^st Sunday of the month, a separate Japanese worship service is held each week. They are also active in many ways: bible studies, kyorei kai meetings, cooking classes, fellowship events, choir, etc. They also provide excellent food such as Sushi and Spam Musubi for the fellowship tea time after the service and many of the church events. Don’t miss it!

Men's (contact: Tom Yen, mens@sturge.org)

The Men's Ministry will challenge, encourage, and equip men to do God's will for their lives. We will equip men through training which leads to personal transformation. We are committed to helping men develop the daily discipline of the studying of the Word of God, prayer and the pursuit of personal holiness so they can become the men God wants them to be.
