Education

Our adult ministry provides a variety of learning opportunities to enrich the spiritual lives of adults. Sunday School is a place where you can increase your knowledge of God's word, grow in your faith, and form deeper relationships with others in the church. Small groups can provide the opportunity to study, worship, outreach and fellowship in a more intimate setting with people who may be facing similar challenges and issues in their lives. Disciple classes develop strong Christian leaders through regular, in-depth study of Scripture. In an atmosphere of love, acceptance and fellowship, we invite you to take advantage of the many opportunities to enhance your spiritual journey here at Fayetteville First UMC.

If you are interested in anything you see here or would like further information, please contact Rev. Kristin Heiden, Minister of Christian Formation (kheiden@fayettevillefirst.com, 770-461-4313, ext. 17)

United Methodist Women (UMW Circles)

Our church's unit of the United Methodist Women is indeed "a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation in the global ministries of the church."  The United Methodist Women provide an outlet for women to channel their involvement in missions both at home and abroad. Through ten circles this a great community of women live out UMW's mission. Organized by age and interest, UMW circles meet regularly and undertake a  wide variety of mission projects. Members also work together for annual fundraising efforts, which include a Craft Show in the fall to support local missions.

The Body Recall approach has proven extremely effective for those with chronic illness, special needs, limited mobility, and even those recovering from surgery. Classes are held in 10 week sessions, meeting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30 to 11:30. Call Joyce Mucha or Laura Cox in the church office to register 770-461-4313.
