What It Means to be United Methodist

Please join us for a five-week study of the beliefs and practices of Christianity in the United Methodist tradition.  Rev. Ann Willet, Associate Pastor for Welcoming Ministry and Discipleship, will lead this class, open to life-long United Methodists who need a refresher, as well as our many newcomers who may be less familiar with United Methodism. 

  • The next class will meet at 11:00 a.m. on Sundays, November 4 through December 2 in the Education Center, room 203.  Pre-registration is requested but not required.  Please contact the church office at 972.235.8385 to register.
