Seekers
Have you been feeling a tug to go deeper into the Scriptures and into your relationship with Jesus? What about a desire to connect on a more personal level with those you worship with each week? Would you like to get to know those around you and begin to share a "Faith Journey". If that is the case, there is a  Sunday School class for you.  Our second study book is "Revelation; The Christian's Ultimate Victory" by John MacArthur.  The Book of Revelation has captured our attention, so we now plan to explore the actual scripture.  Please join in when you have the opportunity.

Johnson-Crutchfield Sunday School Class 
An eclectic group of individuals and couples dedicated to God's purpose through fellowship and worship. While using the Adult Bible Series, our class focuses on contemporary issues through investigation of historical principles of the Bible and God's law. A major focus of the class is to apply the teachings of the Bible to the situations faced in the contemporary world. We are a group of younger to older believers who welcome all who wish to put the principles of God's law to work in the modern world. We believe the answers to today's trials and tribulations are found in the history, principles, and laws contained in the Holy Bible. Come visit with us for a breakfast treat and most of the time fresh coffee has been brewed.

James Auman Class
The James Auman Sunday School Class has been in existence for more than 35 years. The members consist of couples and singles. We are a "mature" class, at least, most of the time. We study the International Standard Lesson and have five teachers. We assist with HOPE ministries and other outreach projects GUMC supports. The class provides assistance in the church family and community as needs arise. We have a passion for the Mission to Haiti and focus year-round on providing clothing and funds for the Haitian people. We have recently adopted a 5 year old Haitian girl and support her with financial assistance and our love. We love the Lord and want to serve Him as he guides us. We hope you will come and join us!
