Adult Formation & Bible Study
Sundays at 11 a.m.
It’s said that prayer is so primal an urge for humankind that we’re born into the world praying. Yet, something so natural and seemingly so easy comes hard sometimes. The Way of Prayer is a 10-week small group study about the nature, practice and results of prayer. People with different temperaments, spiritual types, and learning styles will each find expressions of prayer that draw them closer to God. They will also learn to integrate body, mind, and spirit in prayer and to live a more creative rhythm between the inner life and the outward journey of service.

Join A Disciple’s Path to explore a Wesleyan approach to discipleship. Over seven weeks, we will discover what it means to be a dynamic follower of Jesus Christ, fully engaged as members of Community United Methodist Church. Together, we’ll explore how prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness uphold our church, develop spiritual practices, and find ways to serve in ministries that transform us as individuals, as a church, and in the world.
Small Group Opportunities
The Good Book Club is an intergenerational group that meets monthly. Each month we choose a new book related to spirituality and faith, and then gather to discuss. This growth group encourages one another in practice along the spiritual life journey while deepening faith, exploring social justice issues, developing Christian friendships and enjoying fellowship with each other. The group meets monthly on the 4th Sunday of the month at 4 pm. All are welcome. Click here for the reading list.
