FAMILY LIVING

This is an active seniors class that is very much a class family. We are here for one another through illness, hospital stays, family emergencies, and more. We make ourselves available to help however we can. Our weekly studies include Biblical texts, Christian living topics, current events, and guest speakers, and we welcome vibrant discussion. Our class remains active in church missions, plans social events (including travel), and participates in occasional retreats. Many church officers came from our class, and we continue to be active in several missions outside and inside the church.

SEEKERS

Lively Laughter and Learning with Love…and Lunch

We are a group of experienced adults, most with young adult children, that creates a dynamic discussion on diverse topics.

KOINONIA: THE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP OF BELIEVERS

Our class is a group of mature United Methodists who are continuing our faith journeys through study and fellowship, and through supporting the many ministries of Christ United. Our focus varies among different topics, religious studies, and scripture. Because we also strive to build a sense of community, we participate in social events outside our normal Sunday morning activities. We care for one another in times of joy and sorrow.

LEGACY

N156 | Families with high school and college-aged children | 30s – 50s

Open to visitors and parents stepping into — or already navigating — the youth and young adult years, Legacy is a place to find steady community in a season that moves quickly and stretches us in new ways. We are a self-led group that values thoughtful, intellectually engaging study and meaningful conversation. We ask good questions, wrestle with real-life faith topics, and learn from one another’s perspectives and experiences. Life is full in these years. Come when you can. Be part of the conversation. Build friendships with others who understand the unique challenges and joys of raising and releasing teenagers and young adults.

Our goal is to strengthen ourselves and others with a spirit of community as we continue our spiritual journey.
