Currently, this is a Book Study format that starts new curriculum and studies about every 6-8 weeks. Even when the class gets big, it feels like a small group. Jodi McDougall teaches this class and newcomers are welcome.

Adult Option #3: Short-term Classes Rm. 3 | 10:00am
Advertised when offered
These Classes are advertised in bulletins or Facebook and in all-church emails. They are meant to address shorter topics, and help people get to know one another in a limited term class. 
 

  Discipleship Small Groups (D-Groups)

Picture
GHUMC has approximately 6 Discipleship Groups  that occur at different times and days of the week.  D-Groups are fun, as well as challenging, and a place to meet Christ AND a place to grow into Christ-likeness. Jesus said, “Come and follow me.”

John Wesley created D-Groups (he called them Class Meetings – not a very exciting name!) modeled on the first Christian small group of Jesus and his disciples. D-Groups are where the Christian rubber meets the road in your life. Meeting in homes, we pray, study, share our lives, support, encourage, care for and strengthen one another as we try to live lives that honor God and make real God’s love for others.
Email the office if you are interested in a D-group and would like to help start a new one.

Prayer Shawl Knitting Group

Retired Men's Group
Working Men's Group
Widow's We-to-Me Support Group
