Our Small Groups

We have multiple small groups and are excited that a large number of people are involved in one or more of them! We're confident that you will be able to find something that works for you. You don't even have to be a member of our church to join a group or take a class.  Check out the list below to see what we have going on right now and what we're working on for the future.

We will be happy to discuss any of these small groups with you. Contact the church office at (828) 295-8333 or let us know which group interests you. Speak to someone on Sunday mornings or email us at (click) smallgroups@faithbridgeumc.org and we will “connect” you with the leaders of the group. Watch our weekly email newsletters and Sunday bulletins for information about new or upcoming small groups.
