small groups

A vital part of FSFUMC, our Small Groups give members a chance to join together to discuss and learn more about God’s love and laws and to renew our spirits, establish our faith and strengthen our commitment to our families and church. There are groups for people of all ages and interests.
We hope you will join with us for Sunday Small Groups.

Classes meet weekly on Sunday at 9:45am for adults, youth (6-12th grade) and kids (1st-5th grade)

BELIEVERS

Who: ​We welcome all ages; couples and singles
​Where: M302 or sometimes at the home of Janie Weber


Their lessons include both Bible Studies and inspirational book review.  Janie Weber is the class teacher.  This is a small, informal class of both singles and couples.  We welcome visitors and new members. 

CHAPEL CLASS

Who: ​We welcome all ages; couples and singles
​Where: 
Roebuck Chapel M106

We have teachers from our class, and throughout the church and community. The Chapel Class is also involved in mission in our community. We provide breakfast the last Sunday of every month for our church & neighbors.  The Group also supports the Clearinghouse backpack program that feeds hungry children on the weekend.  Several of our members pack and distribute the backpacks

CORNERSTONE CLASS

Who: ​60+ group
​Where: Room M312


We use the Adult Bible Series, recruiting our discussion leaders from both inside and outside our group. We also enjoy doing focused studies on all types of scriptural topics.  We support several on-going outreach programs with our offerings, including Inter-Faith Pre-School, “Backpack for Children” program, Antioch, mission trips and other projects that come to our attention monthly. We are a circle of friends averaging 60+ years old, who enjoy coming together to pray, study, and worship. We help each other better understand the teachings of the Holy Scripture, sharing both our questions and our enlightenment. We share our life experiences with each other and open our hearts to reveal our cares and concerns. We love and support each other and seek daily to be better witnesses to those around us.

DISCUSSION CLASS

Who: ​ Singles, couples, talkers, listeners, philosophers, and fanatics of all ages
​Where: Room M301

It began as a couples class in 1964, meeting under the stairs of the sanctuary, and has since moved to many different locations in the church. The class uses a discussion format and draws from a variety of resources (Bible, history, and literature) to guide class discussions in applying Christian learning to everyday living. Dr. Taylor Prewitt as well as other guest teachers lead the class.

FIRESIDE FRIENDS CLASS

Who: ​ Any age is welcomed, although we are primarily in our 30s, 40s and 50s
​Where: Fireside Room of the Family Life Center

​Studies will range from video series, to study of Books of the Bible, to discussion.  We believe that fellowship and community mission projects are an important and integral part of a Sunday School Class. 

FRIENDS CLASS

Who: ​ Age from 45 to 60
​Where: Room M105

The class is led in discussion by our teachers, Ben Shipley, Randy Blythe, and Eddie Walker. They use a lecture format and the International Adult Bible Series. The class specializes in Bible history and background to aid in understanding of the Scriptures and how that applies to our lives today.  Members consider fellowship to be the key to the success of this class. 

ROUNDTABLE CLASS

Who: ​60's to 70's with a few somewhat younger or older
​Where: Room M201

The class today is made up primarily of folks in the mid-sixties to mid-seventies age groups with a few somewhat younger or older. The Roundtable Class uses the International Bible Lessons for Adult Bible Study and a rotation of experienced & talented class members to teach.  

FSFUMC KIDS

Who: ​K-5th Grade
​Where: 2nd floor of the Main Building
​
Our Sunday School hour is dynamic, educational, and Fun! Using a variety of curriculum, each week we learn a Bible lesson through media, storytelling, art, food, and games.

FIRST YOUTH SUNDAY EVENING

5 pm – 7 pm on Sundays. This is our big group gathering where all junior high and senior high students are welcome! Come hang with us!​

YOUTH

Who: ​ 6th-12th Grade
​Where: 3rd floor Youth Loft
​
Sunday School is a time for our youth to study the Scriptures in a variety of ways. We discuss the Bible in small group settings, we watch videos that illustrate the Scriptures, and we incorporate activities and crafts. We understand that students learn in many different ways, so our Sunday School is geared to reach students with the Bible however it is that they learn!
