Sunday School
At First Methodist, small group ministry occurs primarily through Sunday School classes. Classes meet weekly for Bible study, service, prayer, care, and fellowship. Each class offers unique opportunities to grow in faith as common journeys of discipleship are shared. Classes are organized broadly by age, but anyone may join any class.
