Adult Ministries

Adult Education

Several adult classes are held on Sunday mornings:

At 9:45 A.M.

Adult Bible Class – This class uses the "Adult Bible Studies" which is an official resource of The United Methodist Church.  This curriculum is designed to help adults understand the meaning and authority of the Bible for Christian life.  Each session is Bible-based and Christ-focused. This class meets in Room 26.

Faith Matters – This class, taught by Rev. Cheryl Foulk, discusses books by popular Christian writers, faith issues, and seasonal topics.  This class  meets in Room 22.

AT 11:00 A.M.

Ark Builders – Contemporary faith-based topics and books are selected according to the interests of the group.  This class enjoys lively discussion and class interaction.  This class meets in Room 22.

WEDNESDAYS

Mid-Week Bible Study – This adult bible study meets each Wednesday from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Crossroads.  The study is facilitated by one of our pastors and examines the preaching text for the coming Sunday.  The format welcomes questions and shared discussion.  All adults are invited to join in this experience.  For questions, ask Rev. McDowell, 653-3330. 

Young Spirits – This group of 20-40 year olds meet for bible discussions and social gatherings on Thursday evenings from September to May.  The bible study, led by Robert or Sam, focuses on the preaching text for the week and the group discusses how the passage relates to their lives and the world around them.  Socially, on the third Thursday of the month, they meet for dinner, bowling, cookouts, bonfires, game nights, and whatever else sounds fun for the group.  If you would like more information regarding the Young Spirits, contact the church.

Senior Adult Council

This Council is an advocate for the needs of older adults. They sponsor a reminiscence program, “Life Review,” for persons 80 and older and mail birthday cards to these persons.

The Senior Adult Council also creates resources for older adults and makes published material available to the congregation. These resources address the needs of older adults and assist in identifying the many services and programs available within the congregation and community.

Wednesday Fellowship Dinners

Dinner is served every Wednesday evening from September through May by volunteers. This is a great time for the church family to fellowship together.

Cokesbury Booktable Ministry

Books are sold on Sunday mornings in the parlor during Fellowship Hour. Special order books are available upon request.

Church Library

The library is open on Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. During the week, the library is locked, but can be accessed by any member of the staff. Books are loaned for four weeks, CDs for three weeks and videos for one week.

Knitting for a Better World

On Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m. in the Rising House, you can join other knitters in a new ministry that provides hope to people around the world. You can knit items for needy children: sweaters, preemie clothing, infant burial buntings, or chemo caps. You can help adults by knitting 7" x 9" sections that are later joined together to make blankets for homeless or battered women’s shelters.  The opportunities to help others are abundant.

If you want to learn to knit, contact Pam George, 740-653-3330.

Outreach Sewing Ministry

By sewing simiple items, this ministry provides help to the Fairfield Medical Center in several ways:

  • Comfort Bears - Young patients can be comforted by hugging these soft bears when they undergo unpleasant procedures such as shots or iv's.  The pattern is simple. Just cut and stitch your favorite bear material and then stuff it.
  • Blankets - Infants admitted through the ER often need blankets they can be wrapped in when they return home.  Selecting the fabric, cutting it out and hemming the edges is all that's needed.

If you would like to learn more about these projects or sew one of the items, contact Pam George at the Church

Cross-Stitch Ministry

Persons who enjoy cross-stitching are invited to share their talents by creating Christian symbols as well as gift items given on behalf of our church.

United Methodist Men

The United Methodist Men meet on the first Saturday of every month for breakfast and fellowship. All men are welcome, call the church office for more information, 740-653-3330.  

United Methodist Women

Sisters - Study Groups for Women

“Sisters” are faith-based groups for women.  These groups help women grow in faith as they offer support, encouragement and friendships with other Christian women.

Each group chooses a study book and meets weekly for one hour to share insights they’ve gained. Groups are limited in size to maintain a small group atmosphere. New groups are started as the need arises.

These groups collectively share occasional fellowship times together and provide food and gifts to needy families during the year.
