  • A class of (mostly) couples and singles over 55 that focuses on video and discussion of the Old and New
    Testament using the Efird Bible Study Series and Adam Hamilton video studies. This class meets on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Room 216/218.

  • A class of (mostly) senior adults that uses the International Bible Study series. This class is led by a teacher and
    attracts those looking for solid Bible study, therefore becoming more intergenerational. This class meets on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Room 222.

  • This small group of parents with children/teens focuses on a common interest in building Christian relationships,
    healthy marriages, and Christ-centered families. Studies are topical and typically run 6 - 8 weeks. The group also
    participates in mission projects and social activities. This class meets on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in Room 213.

  • This group of individuals and couples, generally ages 45+, focuses on incorporating DUMC’s mission statement
    into our daily lives using community and fellowship, overseas and local missions, and Bible and spiritual study.

  • The Navigators are a free-thinking group focused on ideas and discussion pertaining to all matters of faith and spirituality. Diverse thinking and fresh perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. Our lively discussion is held every Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. via Zoom.

  • Participants are generally 40+. Using formats such as video and/or sacred/contemporary/fictional writing, the
    curriculum varies around Biblical, topical, and personal growth studies. This is a discussion driven class for
    people looking to mature in their Christian discipleship. This class meets the first Sunday of the month in Room 209. Other Sundays on Zoom.

  • This class addresses a broad range of topics, usually relating to social justice, interfaith dialogue, and emerging
    perspectives in Christian faith. Members volunteer to lead discussions that may be based on books, videos, or
    guest speakers, and that reflect members’ diverse belief and opinions (theological, political, and otherwise). This class
    meets on Tuesdays from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Congregational Care House.

Support for Seniors

Visitation Program
Our church’s Senior Visitation Team focuses on providing visits to church members who are unable to attend church for a variety of reasons. Members of this team are eager to spend time with folks who need company, friendship, and support. If you are interested in having a visitor or serving as one: Melissa McLeod.

Legacy
In an effort to preserve the story of our church, we have created the Legacy Project. Trained interviewers meet with church members to create a written document of their life story. One copy is given to the individual and one is kept in the church Library.  Contact Gail Spach for more information.
