Education & Discipleship

 


 

 

Come grow with us in Christ.

As we study together, we grow together in Christian faith and become better equipped to serve God as individuals and as a community. Christian education and discipleship opportunities are available for all ages, and we'd like you to join us in a Sunday School class, Bible study or retreat.

 The SUMC Christian Education and Discipleship program includes:

  • Youth Sunday School - Classes are held for children from age 2 through Senior High youth. Regular Sunday School is scheduled on Sunday mornings from 9:30 - 10:45 from September through June. In July and August, all youth in grades 3 and older are invited to attend worship with their parents. Sunday School classes are held as usual for children ages 2 through current 2nd graders. Some classes may be combined during summer months to give teachers a much needed break.
  • Youth Confirmation - We have recently expanded our youth confirmation program to give young adults a greater opportunity to explore their faith in-depth. The class lasts from September through June and is open to youth in grades 7 and above. Starting in September 2005, confirmation has been held on Sundays from 9:30 am - 10:30 am. Upon completion of the program, class members are given an opportunity to join the church.   
  • Vacation Bible School - Our 2010 Vacation Bible School will be held Aug 2 - 6.  The theme is High Seas Expedition!   
     
  • Summer Camp -  Our In God's Backyard Summer Camp will be conducted in three one week sessions from July 12 - July 30.
     
  • Adult Sunday School - We currently have two adult Sunday School classes which meets every Sunday from 9:30 - 10:30.  The Sterling Study Class also meets at 11:00.
     
  • Adult Bible Study - We regularly schedule long and short term adult bible studies including Disciple Bible Study programs.
     
  • Walk to Emmaus - The Walk to Emmaus is a 72 hour spiritual renewal program that starts on a Thursday evening and ends on a Sunday evening. It is a weekend filled with speakers, prayer, and small group activities designed to strenthen and inspire disciples of Christ.
     
  • College Care Packages - Our higher education committee sends out care packages to our college students twice a year.  Be included!
