STUDIES & CLASSES

Helping you get connected as you learn and grow as a disciple.
We offer a variety of studies and classes to meet you where you are in your discipleship journey. Here are some studies and classes we are offering!


LET’S PLAN AHEAD

April 13 • 2:00 – 4:00 pm • The Gathering Room (Bldg D)

Too many times when loved ones pass away, there are difficult decisions left to be made by family members gripped by grief. To ease this burden off our loved ones, we can put documentation in place now that will honor our desires and create a meaningful way to celebrate our life and legacy. Come and learn from Rev. Brenda Beaver, LMSW-IPR, as she presents this important workshop and discusses the importance of completing end-of-life documents along with conversation starters for reluctant family members. To help us ensure there are enough materials for participants, registration is required. Please email care@fmcm.org with any questions.

WOMEN’S MINISTRY BIBLE STUDY:

UNASHAMED

Wednesdays Starting April 2 • 6:30 – 8:00 pm • Chapel
Shame is everywhere we look. It hides in the shadows, lies to us, and shackles us in the prison of our past. It holds us back in ways we do not even realize. But the truth is that God is not only more powerful than anything we’ve ever done but also stronger than anything ever done to us. We can grow in freedom and strength!

Starting April 2nd, join us for a five-session bible study authored by Christine Caine. This study will lead you into God’s Word to see how God is bigger than your mistakes, your inadequacies, and your limitations. You will see that you are not fundamentally flawed and that you are worthy of acceptance. You have been set free!

Registration

If you need childcare for Kinder and under during Unashamed, please register each week for Kids Care. Kids and Students Ministries have Wednesday night programming for 1st-12th grade.

Join Pastor Jan Davis as we explore the book of Jonah, uncovering the brutal Assyrians of Nineveh, ancient seafaring ships, and the great fish, while challenging us to embrace God’s call beyond our comfort zones.
This co-ed 7-week study features table discussions and prayer time, providing a space to connect, reflect, and grow together as we learn to step out in faith, just as Jonah did. Registration has closed.
