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 Kisha Bumpers at kbumpers@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.

Kisha Bumpers

Director of Lay Ministries

Kisha works to connect the congregation to opportunities for service, fellowship and discipleship for the purposes of growing in relationship with God and others. You can find her helping out with our Congregational Care Ministries, Food Pantry, organizing small groups, and connecting people to deeper ways of loving God and neighbor. She’s been helping Conway FUMC to reach its community and grow in faith for 13 years! Before coming to Conway FUMC, Kisha worked with volunteers and donors at the Arkansas Foodbank. Prior to the Foodbank, she was an Assistant Youth Director at Central UMC Fayetteville where she mentored senior high girls and coordinated small group ministries. Kisha holds a B.S. in Sports Management and an M.Ed. in Recreation Management. She also became an ACE Certified personal trainer in 2023. Kisha’s favorite meal in town is the poblano chicken fajitas at Faby’s. Her hobbies include just about any activity you can do outdoors. If it's on or in the water, even better. She also enjoys puzzles, board games and musicals. The best, though, is doing any of these things alongside family and friends!
