West Suburban Millennials Fun Group

Naperville, IL

Come join one of the largest meetup groups in the Chicago suburbs!

This group is for millennials (people born in the 80s & 90s) who want to take advantage of the best the Western Chicago Suburbs has to offer. This is the perfect group for people who want to have a great time, but don't want to drive to the city to meet new friends. Feel free to suggest activities you are interested in!

If you are anxious about meeting new people, hang in there. It can take a while to feel comfortable around a new group of people. Also, you may want your first event to be in a setting that involves an activity you already enjoy. Although it's great to try new things, you might not want to make it your first meetup. There should hopefully be something for everyone! We look forward to meeting you!

One important request...if you RSVP to an event and cannot make it, the group asks for a courtesy text message, email, or status change on the event site with substantial notice. Some events require a certain number of people for us to receive special discounts. Your cancellation provides the opportunity for your organizers to modify reservations as needed. After 3 no shows with no attempted communication, you will not be able to participate in the group. Your consideration is much appreciated!

Thanks for joining!

Naperville Healthy Activities Meetup Group

Naperville, IL

I used to run a health activity group many years ago! I loved getting people together to do healthy activities when they normally wouldn’t do it by themselves! The older I get, I find it’s hard to find like minded people to get together to find healthy exercises and sports. I would love to add activities that allow people to choose what they would like to do and be able to take the step to do it. I would even like to see others get a chance to lead activities they would like to do as well! I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones as well!

Coffee & Conversations (Naperville)

Naperville, IL

Coffee and Conversations is an intellectual discussion group that meets regularly in Naperville. As a discussion group, we discuss a variety of topics that are cultural, philosophical, metaphysical, and theological in nature. \ One aim we have is to provide a space for deeper discussions with each other, discussions on topics that we may not normally get to have on a regular basis, and give opportunities to enjoy conversation and build new friendships with each other. \ Another aim we have is to engage topics with the hope of a better understanding of the truth about them and the truth about reality. This second aim I would argue makes our discussion group different from others. We, Andrew and Tom who facilitate and lead the group, hope our members will use this time to consider the truth about the topics we consider together. Now this second aim is clearly shaped by a worldview that Andrew and Tom share, a Christian worldview. As Christians, Andrew and Tom believe truth is important and ought to be sought after, and we hope that each of you will seek after it in our time together. Thus, the purpose of coffee and conversations is not to have a group that merely promotes an all-encompassing inclusivism or a group that simply affirms everyone’s views of a topic or perspective on reality. Rather, we hope that each person will come to coffee and conversations and learn a new way of viewing a topic, meet new friends, and ultimately seek to discover what might be the truth about a topic and reality. We realize that may not make this group everyone, but it seems that it certainly does appeal to many (a vast majority of those who attend are not Christians). We have only 3 rules: RESPECT, LISTEN, LEARN. This group is facilitated and led by Tom and Andrew and is sponsored by Cross of Christ Fellowship. \
