Adult Sunday School

The Pilgrimage Class gathers weekly using the Adult Bible Study, with leadership rotating from week to week. The Pilgrimage class fosters a sense of community that embraces the diversity of opinions, ages, and races that are Haymount. The class supports causes that are both local and global.

The Word Sunday School is a diverse group of adults; single and married, 30's up to seniors! Our format is usually a Bible or book study that includes a video and group discussion. Our class is mission-minded, and we actively participate in the work of the Mission Committee, to include garage sales, refuge homes, and work teams. We also support the many mission areas our class members hold dear such as Smile Train, Curamericas, Fayetteville Urban Ministries and Operation Inasmuch. Join us in room 224 and check us out!

The Bergland Bible Class has recently studied the Book of Romans, and has since explored through video streaming the life of Paul and Peter. We are now focusing on the last 24 hours of Jesus' life, which was started during the Season of Lent. As for projects, the class is setting up an endowment that supports all people of all ages in their journey through formalized Christian spiritual formation opportunities. The class has faithfully financially supported those in need over the course of its inception in 1985.

The True Faith class uses Bible scripture, modern teaching materials, and personal experiences to build a Christian covenant between its members. Studies are intended to reinforce our Christian beliefs, yet also challenge our understanding of the scriptures. Lessons usually consist of a video presentation, followed by group discussion in a receptive and supportive environment. All adults welcome. Meets in room 217.

 

The adult Bible class, known as the Barrington Bible Class, held it’s first meeting on December 9, 1945. Carl Barrington Sr., who with his family, had joined the church in April, 1946, and was selected to teach this class. The Barrington Bible Class membership is made up of in class attendees and a large group of those who are unable to attend in person. Those unable to attend in person, join us on the phone. Our class works together to help each other and those in our community who are in need. We work together to glorify God.

The Magnolia Class is full of volunteers. We have served on many UMCOR work teams in our state and beyond. We have traveled to other countries to see where our mission dollars go and how they change lives. At Christmas we adopt children from the local elementary school to provide gifts. We also host a covered dish meal each year to raise funds for the Care Clinic which provides medical care to the uninsured in our community.

Joy Sunday School Class - Our “Young Adult Group” has evolved over the years! It began in 2015 with a group meeting in each other’s homes every Sunday evening. As our young adult families began to grow, it became more and more difficult to meet on Sunday evening. In 2022 we started our “Young Adult” Sunday School class. We meet each Sunday from 10:00-10:45. We have studied books from the Bible, watched videos from pastors preaching on various topics, read many books and studied devotions electronically. We have learned a lot about our faith and so much about each other. How wonderful to have a group and space to share our joys and struggles each week!
