Every Sunday morning, groups of adults meet in FUMCFW Sunday School Classes to enhance their spiritual growth and enjoy fellowship with other Christians. We have classes for a variety of demographic groups, with many different class personalities and styles.

If you are interested in participating in any of these classes, please contact:

Young and Middle Adults

Aldersgate | 9:30 am | Room 333
We love a good discussion, bringing a variety of life experiences and opinions shared respectfully with one another. Lessons are usually led by class members or speakers from the adult speakers bank. We engage in monthly service opportunities, including Second Sunday at the First Street Methodist Mission and several social gatherings throughout the year.

Genesis | 9:30 am | Room 351
Our class is primarily made up of late 30’s, early 40’s couples and singles, most with elementary-aged children or youth. Studies are presented by class members with discussion opportunities and occasional guest speakers. Topics range from biblical studies to issues related to families to social concerns. Several social events throughout the year.

New Class for Parents of Young Children | 9:30 am | Room 320
In response to so many requests for a class that meets at the same time as children are in Sunday School, we are launching the 9:30 Open Door Class. Couples or singles, all are welcome to join with other parents for a time of socializing and discussion of topics that are important to you. In addition, we will have several opportunities for service projects (some with our children joining in) and socials.

Middle and Older Adults

Good Neighbors/Koinonia | 9:30 am | Room 231
The name Good Neighbors says a lot about who we are: caring for each other, serving others. We would describe ourselves as “an active and lively group who loves to learn, think, and express many different opinions”. The most unique thing about this class is its “Big Personality”! Lessons are presented by speakers from class and the FUMC speakers bank and range from social issues, community concerns, current events, and biblical studies. Many social events and hands-on service opportunities.

Inquirers | 9:30 am | Room 352
We are a very welcoming class! We have weekly presentations by a variety of clergy, staff, and members of the church’s speakers bank ranging in topics from biblical studies to social concerns.  Emphasis on supporting church outreach programs. Several social occasions, including monthly dinners and monthly Ladies Coffee.

Loyalty | 9:30 am | Room 334
Lively, active, and engaging! This class values the friendships formed, and the lessons presented by engaging speakers from both church members and community speakers. We support a number of service agencies, and enjoy gatherings for food and fellowship.
