Sunday School
At FUMC, small group ministry occurs primarily through Sunday School classes. Classes meet weekly for Bible study, service, prayer, care, and fellowship. Each class offers unique opportunities to grow in faith as common journeys of discipleship are shared. Classes are organized broadly by age, but anyone may join any class.
Adult Sunday School Classes
The Good Goats Class is comprised of working adults who seek honest and open dialogue concerning their faith and how it shapes their everyday lives. The material mainly favors life application studies with the occasional in-depth scripture series. Members are actively involved in various areas of church ministry and stay close outside of Sunday School. If you are seeking to deepen your faith journey and have a good time doing so, this may be the class for you.
