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

Adult Sunday School Classes

Open Door — New class for 30-somethings!

Room 334 | 11:00 am

Beginning in September, we are inaugurating a new class for 30-somethings, married or single, gay or straight, who are interested in being a part of a similar age/stage community at First Church.  If you are intellectually curious and seek to form close relationships within a faith community, you will fit right in!  Most of these class members go to The Gathering at 9:30 am and then meet together for an hour spending time in community and enjoying  lively discussions.  Class lessons are offered by guest speakers on a variety of topics from biblical studies to current events.  Many social events and opportunities for service are being planned. Follow us on Facebook.
