This class is composed of adults in their 20s, 30s, & 40s. The Crosstrainers meet in the Activity Center after the Celebration service at 10:00 a.m. The class is a discussion class. Topics have included: parenting, relationships, priorities, mission, etc. This Fall 2009 we will be studying the NOOMA series with Rob Bell. Kevin Patrick will be leading this session. There's a WIKI dedicated to NOOMA here. Kevin met Rob Bell at the National Youth Leaders Convention in Atlanta when the second NOOMA video was publically released for the first time. The highest production quality and creative application of modern digital film techniques help bring the 2000 year old message of the love and grace offered by God through Jesus Christ to a 2009 audience. NOOMA is produced by a non-profit company, Flannel, and Rob Bell is one of the leaders of Mars Hill Church.

Epiphany Class

The Epiphany class meets in the Fellowship House across the street. The class begins at 10:00 a.m. This class is open to adults of all ages and will involve both lecture and discussion. Topics have included: a series on the Sermon on the Mount, The Old Testament, Methodism, etc.

Wesley Class

The Wesley Sunday School Class has been serving members continually at FUMC for more than 50 years. It is made up of adults who study the Adult Bible Studies from The New International Uniform Series. The class begins at 9:45 A.M. with announcements of up coming events and prayer concerns followed by prayer. The class meets in Room 126. The group enjoys singing hymns and observing birthdays and anniversaries. Teachers have assigned Sundays to teach the lessons so one teacher does not have to teach every Sunday. Class projects are giving memorial money gifts when a member dies and supporting some other needs in the community. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome.

Fellowship Class

The Fellowship Class meets in the Fellowship Room, located in the office area of the Education Building and opens its doors to persons of all ages – single or married. Issues for presentation and discussion are usually short term in duration and represent a variety of theological and biblical perspectives to help persons bring meaning to daily living. Leadership is provided by class members or clergy and lively discussion is encouraged. Studies have included: “Difficult Passages in the Bible”, “Putting Faith into Action”, etc. This class meets for dinner out on the third Friday (usually) of each month at a place the group chooses. Come fellowship with us!

Faithbuilders Class

The Faithbuilders Class is, as our name implies, a fellowship of believers who are consistently seeking to build our faith in God and in His Son, to build our faith in others and in ourselves. We seek to grow in our faith in all of these areas by studying the Word, learning from others of great faith, and learning from each other. Learning can be fun! We believe, as Jesus indicated so many times, in fellowshipping together. This great fellowship has taught us much about loving others and caring for others, in our class, in our church and in our community. We laugh a lot, we care a lot, we learn a lot - come join us!
