Adult Bible Study Classes:

Epworth, Crusaders

Room 125, 9:45-10:45 am

POC: Pat Heath

Rooted in tradition, the Epworth/Crusaders class reflects on Scripture using trusted Bible study guides and resources. Each Sunday includes hymn singing with electric organ accompaniment, offering a familiar and worshipful rhythm. The class also supports meaningful outreach, including the San Marcos Food Bank and insurance for uninsured children.

Harmony of the Gospels:

9:45-10:45 am Room 128

POC: Brian Hurt

This traditional adult Sunday School class takes a careful, verse-by-verse approach to Scripture. Harmony of the Gospels invites participants to slow down, study deeply, and engage the Bible with intention in a welcoming, thoughtful environment.

Jack Hughes

Room 130, 9:45-10:45 am

POC: Ruth Phillips

This class loves to go deep into Scripture, exploring books of the Bible passage by passage through thoughtful teaching and open discussion. Questions are encouraged, differing viewpoints are welcome, and no one is expected to agree on everything. Along with study, the class shares fellowship and serves through projects like Angel Tree at Christmas and organizing special giving opportunities.

One in the Spirit

Room 126, 9:45-10:45 am

POC: Athena Reiche

One in the Spirit is a fellowship-focused class committed to understanding and applying the Bible to daily life. The group takes thorough, book-by-book dives into Scripture and values meaningful conversation rooted in shared faith.

Upper Room

9:45-10:45 am Room 123 and on Zoom

POC: Jan Yowell

The Upper Room focuses on living out faith in everyday life through Christian book studies, Scripture, and conversation. With a shared motto of “we agree to disagree,” this discussion-centered class values diverse perspectives and shared leadership. Members are actively involved in service throughout the San Marcos community, and all ages are welcome.

Sisters in Christ

Sisters in Christ meet Mondays at 6pm to 7:30 on zoom.

POC: Kim Ford

Sisters in Christ offers a supportive, connection-filled space for women to study Scripture together. Meeting weekly online, the group follows guided studies—currently The Epic of Eden—and gathers in person twice a year to strengthen relationships and fellowship.

United Methodist Men and Methodist Women

Here at FUMCSM we are very lucky to have both a very active and productive United Methodist Women group and a United Methodist Men group. Our men and women both are active in not only the church, but the community as well.
