Adults
Adult Sunday School
We have fourteen adult Sunday school classes at First United Methodist Church. All are involved in mission projects, special activities, and social events throughout the year. They strive to build a sense of community among their class members as well as to reach out to new members. Classes vary as to size and format. We encourage you to visit several classes in order to choose the one that best meets your needs.

BEING COMFORTABLE REFERRING TO THE STEPHEN MINISTRY
The Stephen Ministry continues to serve congregants and the community by providing Christian care to those experiencing life challenges. As a church ministry, the Stephen Ministry belongs to each of us and as a result can be utilized by us as individuals. The Stephen Ministry, as well as the other church ministries, can act as special tools utilized as an available resource in your service to others. In the same way you would request prayer for a friend in need, the Stephen Ministry may be available to a friend that needs a listening ear. The Stephen Ministry is not solely for Stephen Ministers to provide Christian care. The Stephen Ministry is a servant resource for you to access for a friend with a crisis.
