Intentionally Developing our Faith

 Small groups were one of the founding characteristics of the Methodist movement that became the United Methodist Church. They provide encouragement and accountability in a way larger settings cannot.  Whether studying the Bible or a book together in Sunday School or learning about missions throughout the world in United Methodist Women, we invite you to join a small group. 

Junior Group/Youth Group
Sundays 4-4:30

A youth group...only junior! Kids grade kindergarten-middle school are invited into discipleship through  kid-led games, Bible lessons, healthy snacks, and a fun project. We do not meet during school breaks, so check the church calendar to make sure we are meeting. 

Contact us for information about how to join us. 

Sunday School

Join us for this adult class taught by Pastor Crystal. Here, we learn from the Bible and varying curriculum connected with the Sunday Worship Sermon.

Kids of all ages take part in a lesson just for them. After the Children's Sermon, children are invited to follow the teacher down to the fellowship hall to learn a Bible Story. This is available every Sunday except the first of the month when children participate in Communion and 5th Sundays.
