Connect Groups

For more information, contact ps@fumcwp.org or visit our leadership page for the staff contact.

Adult Groups

Adult Groups are 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.

WOW (Women of the Word)
Mondays, Starting Sept. 8, 11:30am-1:00pm, Zoom or In-person
Does our faith have any relevance today? Join us as we study Adam Hamilton’s book “Revival: Faith as Wesley Lived It”. He follows the roots of Methodism, as seen through the founder, John Wesley. Wesley felt a strong call to serve the poor, the sick and the imprisoned – not to be saved but because of salvation. We are called to walk as Christ walked. What does that mean to us today? Adam Hamilton helps us defines our faith and challenges us to rediscover our spiritual passion. Email ps@fumcwp.org for more information and the Zoom link.
