Sunday school is an opportunity to gather for deep and meaningful conversations about scripture and topics of faith. It is also an opportunity to create relationships, get to know others in our church, and live out our faith in community as Jesus instructed us. The goal of all of these classes is empowering individuals to strengthen their spiritual gifts, extend care to those in need, and welcome and discuss new ideas in a safe setting. All are welcome.

Connection Groups/Classes

Small Group

Accountability Group

This group includes 12 – 40 people in weekly or monthly meetings to form a connection between each other and God. This is done through discussion, Biblical/doctrinal teaching, or topical conversations. Here at First UMC Winter Park, we have many different opportunities for adult classes and groups – from Sunday School Classes to women’s and men’s groups that meet throughout the week.

This group includes 8-12 people in weekly meetings designed to help believers with their everyday relationship with Jesus. These groups are designed around personal sharing, prayer, and carrying each other’s burdens. We are actively looking for small group leaders who are willing to guide the conversation and check in with the members of their group. Leaders will be given training and follow-up by Pastor Philip and the Small Groups team. If you are interested in being a small group leader in 2022, please email jenniferh@fumcwp.org.

This group includes 3-4 people who meet weekly or monthly to improve their attitudes, emotions, feelings, intentions, affections, and grow in their relationship with Jesus and in Holiness and Love. Each member is accountable to the other members as they grow authentically. If you would like more info on starting an accountability group, please email Pastor Philip at philipa@fumcwp.org.

Kinfolk is launching new Connect Groups to engage, inspire, and empower young adults who are curious or committed to Jesus.

Who is Kinfolk for?
Kinfolk is for people with questions. You might wonder where God has been, wonder what relevance the church has, or wonder how the world can be so beautiful. If you’re like us, you do all three.

Kinfolk is for young adults. We like how that’s a loose concept, but generally speaking a Kinfolk young adult is out of college but still working toward a career. And yes, we have plenty of exceptions.

Please contact ps@fumcwp.org for more information.

The CFCD seeks Christ in everyday life and empowers ordinary people to surprise the world.

The CFCD was commissioned with a simple goal: create a reproducible pathway to discipleship knowing that the church thrives when people get involved.

We strengthen involvement by growing creative disciples. Creative disciples are passionate about Jesus and his redemptive work and see their church as a home base for unique and personal ministry. Moreover, creative disciples grow in community; they get involved with each other to surprise the world together.

Look for new opportunities and studies soon!
