Exploring Our Faith
Fairfield Glade United Methodist Church
EXPLORE MINISTRY
The Explore Ministry Team is responsible for affording persons the opportunity to explore our Christian faith Biblically,
theologically and historically. The primary task of this ministry team would be organization, development, and
implementation of ongoing opportunities for persons to grow to their understanding of the Christian faith and life. It would
include all formation experiences such as Sunday School, Bible studies, spiritual retreats, vacation Bible school, etc. All
persons are encouraged to participate in some type of small group formation experience.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Classes for all ages meet each week at 9:45 a.m. Children and Youth are divided into age levels. There are four Adult
classes. The Aldersgate Study meets at 8:30 a.m. in Room 3 and focuses on the life of John Wesley, Wesleyan theology
and American Methodism. The Friendship Class meets in the Friendship Room off of the Fellowship Hall and uses the
International Lesson as its curriculum and is lecture based. The Wolcott Bible Study Class meets in Room 7 and is a
lecture based class engaged in in-depth study of Scripture. TheHuestis Class meets in Room 6 and studies a variety of
Christian and Biblical topics in a discussion format.
BIBLE STUDY
At least one class of Disciple Bible Study series is offered each year. We have graduates of all five Disciple courses within
the congregation. Follow this link for more information on Bible Study classes.
SMALL GROUP STUDIES
Several groups meet weekly in homes to study the Bible, Christian discipleship, or contemporary issues.
EVENING STUDIES
Summer and Autumn short-term studies are held during the week and are led by laypersons or the pastors.
We are also proud to be able to offer activities for children. Follow this link to learn more about our Children's Ministry.
