What used to be known as Sunday School has been reimagined into Small Groups, flexible, interest-based gatherings that meet not only on Sunday mornings, but throughout the week. Whether you want to dive deeper into Scripture, join a group focused on a specific topic, or connect with others in a relaxed, faith-filled setting, there’s a place for you. It’s not about fitting into a class, it’s about finding a community that fits your life.
With a variety of topics, meeting times, and group styles, you can find one that supports your unique journey and pursuit of God.

FUMC offers a dynamic lineup of small groups for every age and interest. While most groups meet on Wednesday evening, there are several that meet throughout the week and month that may better fit your schedule.
See below for our full lineup. We hope you'll dive in as we draw near to each other and Jesus Christ each week!
This is a group open to anyone looking to connect with others by sharing weekly conversations based on various topics.
