Small Group Studies – We have several small group studies already formed (women’s men’s, couples), but can always start more!  Most meet in people’s homes either weekly or monthly with a facilitator and work through chapters of the Bible or published studies or books.  Let us know if you want to be in a group!

Adult Sunday School Class – Meets mostly year-round on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. in the church library.  Many topics or avenues of study.  Anyone welcome!

We also have classes for New Members, Pre-Marital Sessions (required before marriage at 1st UMC), and non-denominational groups who meet at 1st UMC.  Let us know, too, if you have questions regarding baptism, funerals, weddings, etc.  We’d be glad to answer them for you!
