Bring your Faith to Life with Connect Groups
Faith→Life: Learn from Christ’s Teachings
We offer many ways to connect with others at CUMC. It’s the Wesleyan way! There are six-week Connect Groups, Connect Groups that meet weekly, Connect Groups that meet once a month, Sunday morning classes, Short-term classes, and Third Sunday Forums. If you are new to Christ Church or a long time member, these groups provide an opportunity to grow friendships, faith, and outreach in meaningful ways. So this is a personal invitation for you to participate in at least one of these outstanding opportunities.
Since many of the connect groups are online, here are instructions on how to join a zoom meeting!
– CLASSES –
Contemporary Issues – Sundays at 10:am Classes via Zoom
Facilitator: Joel Charlson
Joel emails participants each Thursday the week’s current event in the news from Wired Word. Scripture verses and critical questions related to the topic lead to in-depth discussions that apply to how we live our daily lives.
It’s great to see friendly faces, hear music and have stimulating conversation! If you are interested in join the class email Joel Charlson (joel.charlson@gmail.com) or Kathy Estry (rk.estry@gmail.com) or just join via this zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/832924941 on Sunday morning at 10:00!

Connect Groups: These groups will meet weekly for six weeks or monthly. The time and focus of the group will be centered around a shared issue or activity. The duration of the gathering is one hour. The core of the time together is developing relationship with the Holy and with each other.
