Asbury United Methodist ChurchNext StepsGroups

Being part of a group provides us with opportunities to connect with each other; to share the journey of knowing, loving and serving God; and to help us grow in our relationship with Jesus. Together we engage in studies and discussions that grow our faith, serve through mission projects, and participate in other ministries.

We are passionate about small groups and we want to see everyone get connected. Regardless of how frequently you attend worship, how long you have been a member, or where you may be on your faith journey, being a part of a small group will bless you and this church family!

Currently Meeting Groups

CHRYSALIS CLASS

(Sunday School)

When: Sundays, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM

About the Group: The Chrysalis Sunday School class is a meeting place for adults to share, discuss and explore a variety of topics including: religion, church, society, history, spirituality, art and leadership. The Chrysalis class is largely self-led and self-directed. Sometimes a single question can trigger deep discussion about the topic for that Sunday. Generally, we study narrow topics for 2 weeks and then shift to a different topic. The schedule of topics is developed by the class and attendees vote on the topics to generate a schedule with the most interest to the most participants. The class meets every Sunday morning at the Sunday School hour throughout the year.
