Adults

We encourage you to find a group where you can grow in the grace of God and in relationship with others.

Other Discipleship Opportunities

Midweek Activities

Midweek on Wednesdays is a time for all ages to gather for fellowship and study throughout the year. There are activities for every age. Our music programs for children start at 5 pm and activities happen throughout the rest of the evening. At 6 pm we gather to eat dinner in the Fellowship Hall (adults) and specific ministry areas for Children, MidYouth and Youth. We then break off for various activities. For adults, we provide a rotating group of classes such as Methodism 101, Basic Bible Studies, seasonal studies, prayer studies, grief care groups and more. These classes begin at 6:30pm for adults. For more information on other activities, visit the other program pages such as MidYouth, Youth, and Music!

Adult Fellowship Opportunities

ADULT LEAGUE SPORTS

We provide opportunities for fellowship through recreational sports. Men’s softball and women’s volleyball have been offered in our recent past, but we are willing to organize teams for any sport where there is enough interest. Team registration will be announced in the Witness. Whether you are a player or a spectator, it is great fun and fellowship with church friends. If there is an adult league in which you would like to participate, let us know. Contact Rev. Miranda Hornsby at mhornsby@conwayfumc.org.

OUTDOOR MINISTRY

About 4-6 times per year we try to offer an outdoor opportunity for the congregation. Most of the opportunities will be hiking but may also take the form of a camping trip, disc golf meet-up, picnic or anything else we can think of to create community in the beauty of the outdoors. Contact Jeremy Walter, fpaul@hotmail.com, for more information or to get involved.
