We have multiple small groups and are excited that nearly 100% of our church is involved in one or more of them! We're confident that you will be able to find something that works for you. 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 (295-8333) or let us know which group interests you. Speak to someone on Sunday mornings or email us at smallgroups@faithbridgeumc.org and we will “connect” you with the leaders of the group. Watch our weekly email newsletters and bulletins for information about new or upcoming small groups.
