Sunday School Classes
Sunday School classes at TFUMC are in essence "small groups." We believe that spiritual growth, accountability, and discipleship are experienced best in a small group format. Participating in a Sunday School class is a great way to experience small group discipleship. Below is more information about our Sunday School classes.
Adult Bible Study
This class is comprised of adults of all ages, both single and married. The focus of study in this class is verse by verse Bible study.
Pathfinders
This group is comprised of young to middle age adults, both single and married, with differing family make-ups.

Faithlink
This dynamic class is for adults of all ages who want to apply their United Methodist beliefs to current faith issues and world events. The weekly lesson examines current news items from the perspective of biblical faith and United Methodist teaching. The open discussion is lively and thought provoking and not only motivates Christians to consider personal beliefs on important contemporary issues, it also encourages one to act on those beliefs as well. Weekly lessons are emailed to class participants for advance study and preparation. Copies are also provided each week in class.
Connection
This class of married couples and single people in their 20's and 30's offers Biblically based studies in a discussion format. They also enjoy getting together outside of class and participate regularly outreach events.
Catherine Daughtery
This group includes singles and married couples, mostly middle age. They study a variety of materials while seeking to deepen their understanding of the Bible and United Methodist beliefs in an inquisitive and open-minded setting. Teachers include class members and guests sought for their expertise.
Christian Fellowship
The Christian Fellowship class is a diverse group, made up of couples, singles, grandparents, retirees, those still working -- many different backgrounds but all friends, who are active in outreach and who support one another through study and prayer. The lessons are taught by an inspirational team using the Cokesbury Adult Bible Studies.
The class sponsors an annual church wide event, the Margatet Lee dinner. The proceeds from the dinner go to support the Christian Fellowship Class Margaret Lee Fund which is used to provide short term financial help to persons in need. To date the fund has provided over $14,000 in financial support to individuals and families. Margaret Lee was a member of the Christian Fellowship Class where her outgoing nature and thoughtfulness to others in need inspired us all to be better people. We were saddened when she fell ill with cancer in1998, and the first dinner was a fund raiser to help her with her medical bills. Margaret died soon after, having left a bequest to start a Good Samaritan fund to help whomever had need.
The class sponsors the students from the Honors Cottage at Vashti, and class members take the students our for an activity and dinner once a quarter. We recently donated a Wii to the House for use as a motivational activity. We also enjoy various fellowship activities during the year including an annual Christmas Carol event. All are welcome to visit and share in our Christian Fellowship!

This class strives to learn of the faith, prepare for life-adjustments, and make a difference in God’s church and community through active service and fellowship. This is an active group of singles, couples and widowed people, most of whom are retired. The International Lesson Series is used as the primary study material. Other resources are used as interests arise. Teachers are class members who desire to share their knowledge and experience through an open discussion environment
