2023 Small Groups
All of our groups welcome new members! Contact a leader and try us out. Small group participation is a
wonderful way to make connections with God and other people.
We believe that authentic growth in the Christian faith happens in a community where we gather to study
and learn and serve. This is what it means to live as disciples of Christ. Looking for a Small Group?
We have several groups and classes ranging in age, seasons of life, and Bible Study/discussion topics.
For instructions on joining any of these groups or classes, contact Rebecca Greene by emailing
becky@fumcgastonia.org or calling 704-864-4371

and followers on the mountainside, He delivered the attitudes of
the heart that every Christ-follower should embrace and apply to
their daily walk. Using personal, real-life stories, along with Biblical

beatitudes, develop a deeper trust in Jesus, and implement heart
