Small Groups

While Sunday morning services are important times of community and fellowship, small groups are the key to deeper spiritual growth and connection.

First United Methodist Church offers a variety of small groups throughout the year, so you can get plugged in, no matter where you are in your spiritual walk. The groups offer a strong network of care, support, encouragement and family life that's crucial for a tangible experience of Christ's love through His church.

Groups vary in size, style, format, time and location. Opportunities are available for men and women, young adult and more mature.

To sign up for any class, please call 635-6886 and speak with Pastor Chris
