This class is designed for frequent guests of CUMC and newer members, generally held every other year for a period of 4- 6 weeks.

It’s also open to anyone who may want a refresher or is just curious about The United Methodist Church! 

If you’d like to know more about our Methodist history and theology, chat together with a group of fellow travelers about:

Faith Practices

Means of Grace

Wesleyan Quadrilateral (unique method of approaching Bible study)

Mission and Ministry of CUMC

etc.

let us know!

On the years we run Faith and Church 101, our first session begins in September (dates and times TBA) and meets @5:00pm in the Sanctuary/Worship Center. Our primary source book for the class may be found here.

Rev. Tommy Wilkes invites you to join him in Bible Studies that will be offered twice a year during Lent and Advent. These studies will be unique each time, but will generally be 5 weeks long, around themes relating to Advent and Lent. Some examples include Adam Hamilton’s 24 Hours that Changed the World, Movies and the Cross, The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem, Matt Rawle’s The Heart That Grew Three Sizes and others. Watch for promotions through the newsletter and bulletin as these seasons approach. 

Do you have a gift of caring for others? 

Are you interested in serving God by offering your time and care to older members of the congregation? 

Our Nurture Team strives to connect with all members in our congregation, with an emphasis toward our senior adults. We also offer nurturing attention to the full membership as needed, through calls, cards, visits and other neighborly actions
