ADULT MINISTRIES
Our goal is to help you identify your next step to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ who will love God, love others and serve the world. Our church has many different opportunities for small groups and bible studies for adults throughout the week. 

​

Sunday School Opportunities

​

Fidelis/Parlor (across from the chapel)/10:00 A.M.

For ages 55+ (generally), the Fidelis Class has a rotation of teachers and emphasizes bible study and discussions of Christian principles as they pertain to life situations.

Wesley/Room 102, 10:00 A.M.

Open to all ages and taught by David Michie and Keith Whitworth, the Sacred Journey class is working through the Old Testament Bible 101 Series and New Testament Bible 101 Series written by Joe White. The approach to Scripture is to utilize reason, experience, and tradition to understand the historical context as well as today’s application of God’s Word to our lives. The Sacred Journey class offers opportunities for fellowship and ministry to help us be God’s hands and feet in our church and community.

​

Foundation/Youth Building/10:00 A.M.

For adults of all ages, this class (formerly known as Cornerstone) is in the process of discerning their focus, while being led by former pastors and other volunteers each week. Opportunities for fellowship and spiritual growth abound!

Proverbs 4:26 ASV 

METHODIST MEN

Methodist Men gather at 7:30 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month in the Family Life Center (gym) for a time of good food, fellowship, learning from a guest speaker, and to organize for any mission or service opportunities that have arisen in the church or community.

SENIOR ADULTS ("PrimeTimers") 

Our senior adults meet the second Thursday of every month at 10 a.m. in the Youth Building, with lunch at 11:30 a.m. During this time, we enjoy food, games, occasional speakers and wonderful fellowship. First United Methodist Church of Cleburne senior members and friends are invited to join in the fun. Throughout the year we also enjoy a number of special events such as trips to museums, musicals, etc.

​

WOMEN OF FAITH STUDY GROUP

The Women's Coffee Group meets weekly on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. in the church "parlor" to discuss books chosen to help us grow in our faith as we share our life experiences. The group also supports our congregation and community through service projects.

​

LIFE GROUPS

Groups meet on their own schedule, often in members' homes. These groups "go deep," as they commit to grow in their faith and practice accountability. To get plugged into an existing group or start your own Life Group contact Pastor Melissa melissa@fumccleburne.com.

​

WELLNESS MINISTRY

Providing loving and compassionate care for the sick was as much a part of the mission of the early church as proclaiming the gospel.  In the light of that tradition, First United Methodist Church in

Cleburne has signed a covenant with Texas Health Resources to provide Faith Community Nursing in this community.

 

Faith Community Nurses help people of all ages understand their health conditions and medications, navigate the health system, and follow their treatment protocols. They help promote wellness, early detection and intervention, and rehabilitation.  However, they do not perform invasive procedures, prescribe or supply medications, nor provide professional counseling.

 

"Faith Community Nursing is a unique specialized practice of professional nursing which focuses on the promotion of health within the context of the values, beliefs, and practices of a faith community.” *American Nurses Association, Scopes and Standards of Faith
