SMALL GROUPS (UPDATED 09/17/24)

 

     FUMC promotes participation in Small Groups as a way to meet other Christians, participate in shared interests, support each other's needs, and build lasting friendships in a one-on-one setting with limited attendance.

         Currently, our groups are held in-person, virtual (highlighted in this listing), or blended in-person and virtual (also highlighted).

         If you have an interest in joining one of the groups below, contact the leader  directly or if assistance is needed, contact:  ereed@havenfirstumc.org
        If Group Leaders need to change their meeting information, send updates to: ereed@havenfirstumc.org
