    Have we ever really grasped the miracle that took place in Jesus' birth? Join us for a very special church-wide Advent Study, Down To Earth, as we explore what the Christmas miracle means to each of us. Using story and Scripture, we will be challenged to respond during Advent with down-to-earth love, humility, lifestyle, and obedience. 


    There will be a video, pastoral-led teaching and group discussion. Books will be available for $5. Please register online. Adults will meet in the Community Room. Children and Youth will also be following the same study at 10:15 in Children's Church and in Youth ConnecTime.

  • The Meaning of Marriage: 

    Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

    by Timothy Keller

    Register Here


    Format: Book Study

    6 Sessions October 20 - December 24

    Led by Kristin & Rudy Martinez

    Location: Faith UMC Classroom 101


    Based on the acclaimed sermon series by New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller, this book shows everyone—Christians, skeptics, singles, longtime married couples, and those about to be engaged—the vision of what marriage should be according to the Bible.


    Modern culture would have you believe that everyone has a soul mate; that romance is the most important part of a successful marriage; that your spouse is there to help you realize your potential; that marriage does not mean forever, but merely for now; and that starting over after a divorce is the best solution to seemingly intractable marriage issues. But these modern-day assumptions are wrong. Timothy Keller, with insights from Kathy, his wife of thirty-seven years, shows marriage to be a glorious relationship that is also misunderstood and mysterious. The Meaning of Marriage offers instruction on how to have a successful marriage, and is essential reading for anyone who wants to know God and love more deeply in this life.

Faith Groups Meeting During the Week


  • Women's Bible Study

    Meets on Tuesday Mornings at 9:30 am in the Community Room

    Led by Ali Strand

    Ecclesiastes - Chasing After Meaning” by Bill and Teresa Syrios


    Much of Ecclesiastes may read as a dismal commentary of life’s meaninglessness and  “Much of the time God is left out of the discussion. BUT, when He gets introduced, everything changes. “Life under the sun” becomes “life from the hand of God”. Chasing after meaning transforms into the pursuit of God. The exploration of life’s meaninglessness outside of knowing God thus becomes an invitation to know Him. In its own unique way, Ecclesiastes ultimately introduces the One who “came that we might have life abundantly” - Jesus Christ himself!”


    We are a group of ladies who enjoy studying scripture in the midst of an accepting, loving environment of fellowship & service. We range in age between 35 and into the 80s! We will gladly welcome all ages and all levels of study (from “newbies” to “old-timers”). We meet here at Faith on Tuesday mornings from 9:30 – 11:00 am.


    Childcare is available with 3 days advance notice! For more information contact the church or Ali Strand at alisonwstrand@gmail.com or call/text at 281-799-7891
