Loving God by learning to love each other and the world is the foundation of developing a deep faith. There are several ongoing groups as well as short-term groups that provide for fellowship, support and deepening faith.
Each Sunday adults gather from 9:00 - 9:55 AM in the Adult Sunday School room to explore their faith together. From bible studies to topical studies, this lively discussion always is a great source of learning. The group is facilitated by members of the Adult Discipleship Team and the current series is focused on Wellness and Wholeness - class materials can be found here. Please come join us for learning and fellowship!

The first Sunday of each month (September - June), the United Methodist Men (UMM) meet for breakfast at church at 7:30 AM. Food, fellowship and learning mark this time together. Throughout the year this group also engages in a variety of outings (heading to a baseball game or concert) and service projects.
This group of women from a variety of local faith communities meets virtually on Friday mornings 9:30 - 10:30 AM. This group chooses the book to explore. Each week is a standalone study, so you are invited to come as you are able. There is nothing to read ahead and having the book is not necessary but can be helpful. To RSVP, please contact, Rev. Joanna Dietz. This study is on Zoom and lasts for about an hour.
Short-term studies are offered to explore different aspects of faith. Often 60 - 90 minutes in length and led by the pastor or a lay leader, studies are 2-6 weeks in length and occur throughout the year. For a featured study, just check below or check out our events on the website.
This small group of 6 to 8 professional women meets monthly on Wednesday or Thursday evenings from 7 - 8:30 PM (or thereabouts) to explore one "bad girl" from the Bible using a chapter from Liz Curtis Higgs book, "Bad Girls of the Bible" as inspiration. The group meets at church, someone's home, or a local restaurant as the Spirit leads, and typically breaks over the summer from June - August. If interested in joining the conversation, please speak with Pastor Abi for more details.
Over the summer, Pastor Abi has chosen two books to read -- on several topics related to spirituality, faith and life. Twice this summer, Pastor Abi will hang out at one of the local restaurants in our neighborhood and facilitate a discussion with whoever shows up! You choose the book(s) that pique your curiosity.
