adult discipleship

adult discipleship

Our adult discipleship ministries are focused on faith-building through intentional and meaningful community engagement. We firmly believe that spiritual growth flourishes when we come together as a church family, united in our commitment to deepening our relationship with God and each other. Through our diverse offerings, including Sunday School classes, United Women in Faith, United Methodist Men's group, and a variety of weekly Bible study opportunities, we strive to provide a nurturing environment where individuals can explore their faith, ask questions, and find support. By actively participating in these ministries, we not only strengthen our spiritual journey but also contribute to the vibrant, interconnected tapestry of our church community.

  • Sunday School classes are offered for adults each Sunday from 9:45 to 10:45 A.M. Although most of our classes have a wide variety of age levels, their median age fits into the young, middle, or senior adult categories.
