There are Many ways to Grow in Your Faith at FUMC

In addition to Sunday School there are many ways that adults can grow in their faith. A variety of Bible study opportunities are offered throughout the year.

Long-term Studies: The Disciple Series

FUMC has been offering Disciple Bible Studies ever since its introduction by Cokesbury. A Disciple study starts with Scripture and ends with community. The studies are both transformational as well as informational and include daily reading and study, weekly small-group meetings, and brief video presentations.

The following Disciple courses are offered on alternating years:

“Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study” –34 week over-view of the

entire Bible

“Into the Word-Into the World” – 32 week study of Genesis-Exodus and

Luke-Acts

“Remember Who You Are” – 32 week study of the Old Testament

Prophets and the Letters of Paul

“Under the Tree of Life” – 32 week study of Old Testament Writings and

Gospel of John, Epistles of John, James, and

Jude, and Revelation

Special Long-term Studies

“Jesus in the Gospels” – 30 week study of Jesus as portrayed in the four

Gospels

“Christian Believer” – 30 week study of the universal beliefs of the

Christian church found in the major doctrines of the

church and reflected by Christian writers

throughout the ages

Short-term Disciple Studies now offered

Disciple is offered in shorter studies now that combine the in-depth of the longer studies in a shorter length of time. Courses that may be offered include “Invitation to the Old Testament,” “Invitation to the New Testament,” “Invitation to Genesis,” “Invitation to Romans,” and “Invitation to John.”
