New Categories for Bible Studies and Groups

In order to assist folks in selecting the right study or group, we have begun to label these with levels indicated by a number. Level 100 classes are intended for everyone. These classes will include basics of a topic, which may be applicable to new as well as life-long Christians. Topics may include such things as the Bible, the United Methodist Church, Christian doctrine and beliefs, spiritual disciplines such as prayer, the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion, or mission trip training.

Level 200 classes are intended for folks with moderate knowledge or background in the topic or as a Christian more generally. Additional degrees of Christian maturity may be necessary for someone to gain anything helpful from Level 300 and 400 classes. Some 400 level classes may be by invitation only.

Since people in the church are naturally at different levels of faith in various areas, we are offering multiple classes and groups this Fall. A full discipleship brochure is being published, but for now you can review the three classes being offered Sunday mornings on the Adult Sunday School post.
