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

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
