Wednesdays, May 6 – June 10

6:30 PM – 8:00 PM

 Online via Google Meet

 As we prepare to return to our space, we believe God is doing more than restoring a building—He’s renewing people. And we don’t want to just come back… we want to come back ready!

So, join us for a 6-week journey as we learn how to live out and share our faith in real, everyday ways—through meaningful conversations, genuine relationships, and a message of hope.

This experience is based on the book, Contagious Faith and is designed for anyone who wants to grow—whether you feel confident or unsure where to start.

Also, this group is not just for First UMC members. All are welcome! 

What to Expect Each Week

We’ll meet online for a relaxed, engaging time that includes:

  • Short video sessions
