Find Your People,
Grow Your Faith
Welcome to the new face of Small Groups at FUMCT! We believe that life is meant to be lived in community, which is why we are expanding our ministry in 2026 to offer you more flexibility and more opportunities to connect.

Each week, women will be randomly placed into small groups and work through puzzles and discussion prompts together. As we piece things together, we’ll share conversation, prayer requests, and encouragement in a relaxed, welcoming space – no prep and no homework required.
Room 221 on Wednesdays 6-7PM
Led by Allison Thomas + Danielle Spree -
During this Men’s Ministry study, we will explore together what Christians believe, why we believe it, and why that matters through the lens of the Apostles Creed using a study created by Adam Hamilton.
Room 215 on Wednesdays 6-7PM
Led by Jan Kizziah -
Life is busy. Many of us want to come to church and be part of our faith community, but we also can’t seem to find time for reflection, Bible study, or quiet prayer in the middle of full schedules. It can feel impossible to do all the things that are important. Room to Breathe is open for anyone searching for this time. Our Wednesday nights together will be relaxed and peaceful. Bring journals, Bible readings, books, or any other silent activities you are longing to share with God. We will simply be together while tending our own spiritual quiet time with no pressure, no agenda, just presence, reflection, and rest with the Lord.
Parker Fireside on Wednesdays 6-7PM
Led by Lisa Shattuck -
This group is for single adults who are seeking connection with others, whether they are divorced, widowed, or never married. Throughout our time together, we will explore various topics that will inspire us to strive for healthier relationships, better friendships, and to become stronger individuals who will strive to be more vital members of the community. We will meet for discussion or bible study and a meal on Wednesday nights, as well as various other events throughout the year.
Room 212 on Wednesdays 6-7PM
Led by Sherry Phillips + Butch Williams -
Does Jonah have anything to say in the year 2026? Jonah is a beloved children's Bible story, but does it still have things that adults need to process and think through? Does it have anything to say to us living in the year 2026? Let's find out together. This will be a four week study that will "dive deep" into the thoughts of Jonah, doing our best to understand it from a Jewish perspective which might help it relate more clearly where we currently find ourselves.
Lee Classroom on Wednesdays 6-7PM
Led by Jeremy Thompson | Lee Classroom -
Do you ever feel like you’re in between your stage in life? This group is specifically designed with not yet married young adults in their mid to late 20s in mind who are no longer in college, but don’t feel at home with young married couples. We no longer identify as the “kids” but feel far from “adults”. We typically focus on studies that are “out of the norm” from most small groups. We have recently done studies on the Apocrypha and “The Screwtape Letters.” We rotate hosting the small group each Monday at 7:30, so connect with us to find out where we are meeting next! Interested? Reach out to Zack: zackncash@gmail.com
Mondays at 7:30 PM (On-Going)
Led by Zack Cash + John Austin Higginbotham -
Through the weeks of this study women will engage in lessons, homework, and videos by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine and Dr. Marc Zvi Brettler to examine popular Hebrew Bible passages quoted in the New Testament from a different lens as Biblical scholars show how Jews and Christians read the same texts differently. We will compare various interpretations– historical, literary, and theological– of each text to discover deeper understandings of original narratives and wrestle with what that means for our understanding of faith today. Books available on www.cokesbury.com,www.amazon.com, or if you need one ordered for you, email ahoward@fumct.org
Room 215 on Wednesdays 9:30–10:45AM
Led by Suzy Gatewood + Wendy Kennedy
