Adults

Discipleship is a shared life and a personal journey that forms us into a Jesus-shaped life of love. A Jesus-shaped life of love involves four rhythms of life: Worship - centering our lives in God; Grow - pursuing growth and transformation; Serve - sharing the love of Christ and Connect - building beloved community. This winter and spring's Adult Grow offerings will help adults discover rhythms, resources, and community experiences that will support a Jesus-shaped life of love. 

Adults at CUMC cover those ages 18+. We come together for making friends, making a difference in our community and deepening our faith. Register your kids for childcare when you sign up for a class, group, or study.

An Exploration of the Myths of the Bible
Thursdays, July 18 & 25, 6-7pm at CUMC
We will explore some of the beliefs, assumptions and mistranslations in many modern English language bibles that don't accurately match the Hebrew or Greek original writings. Is the translation you're reading accurate to the Bible's original words? Have certain words or meanings been mistranslated or even changed to suit someone else's purpose? Join Michelle Williams as she leads us in this exploration based on the book, Myths of the Bible, by William J. Morford available on Amazon.

What are the Kids Doing?
Wednesday, August 14, 6:30-8pm at CUMC
For many of us, once our kids are out of the nest, Kids and Student Ministry become part of our past; sometimes part of our "distant" past. This one evening class will be intergenerational in nature and will give older adults the opportunity to learn about CUMC's Kids and Student Ministry. We will explore what happens on a Sunday morning in that wing of our building. What is Kids Church? How do our young people learn about Jesus and how to live like Him? Are there small groups? Understanding what our kids are learning will help us to connect better with them Led by Carol Lemon and Sharon Edwards. For info, contact Sharon at
