 Each Gospel has its own way of
portraying Jesus and expressing his significance. So each Gospel deserves to
be heard in its own right. This study concentrates on the portraits of Jesus
that emerge from the four Gospels. This class may be called a "hearing
aid," carefully designed to help all readers listen more attentively in
order to hear each Gospel story's witness to Jesus. This thirty-week study is intended for
graduates of DISCIPLE, but only DISCIPLE I is a prerequisite for this course
 Christian
Believer- Knowing God With Heart and Mind is a unique
opportunity to know more of the doctrine of the Christian faith. This 30-week
class emphasizes the relationship of worship, belief, and daily life. Why
should you study doctrine? - To
understand the basic language and convictions that has shaped Christian faith
over the centuries. - To study doctrine as a guide to understanding what
distinguishes Christianity from other faiths. -
To be equipped for living faithfully and for passing on the faith to
others.
 Companions in Christ is a powerfully transforming small

A challenging study of
the Bible, Theology and Ethics, utilizing videos of well known scholars and
theologians. We strongly encourage

 Covenant Discipleship is a spiritual formation group
utilizing Renovare
resources that encourage a balanced spiritual life incorporating the
practices and spiritual disciplines seen in Jesus’ life and the history
of the Church. We strongly encourage

Small Groups
Small Groups provide a great opportunity to grow spiritually and develop
close relationships with others. We are always open, though, to new small
groups that can start at any time and meet either in a home or at the church.
These can be ongoing or meet for six – eight weeks with breaks in
between. For more information, contact the Discipleship office. disciple@fumchs.com

Mentor & Mentee
Mentors and
Mentees is a group of “seasoned” women and younger women who meet
periodically for dinner and fellowship. There are currently three
groups which usually consist of 12 women. It’s a wonderful way
for women to meet others of a different age group. Meetings usually
consist of a dinner, a devotion, and lively discussion of issues women face
in their various roles. Sometimes M&M’s just go out for a
girl’s night. If you would like to know more about
M&M’s, join a group, or start a new group in the Fall, please
contact Carol Jo Atkinson dratkinson@cablelynx.com
