SEED Groups
SEED is an acronym for Share, Explore, Enlighten, and Devotion. Participating in a small group can be an incredibly effective, and fun, way of growing as a disciple of Jesus Christ. SEED groups are small groups that meet regularly (either weekly or every other week) in homes. A typical format for a SEED group includes informal conversation together, scripture study and discussion, sharing prayer requests, and prayer. Information about existing SEED groups is available through the church office: 253-4232.
Sunday School for all ages
Sunday school hour is from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. From babies in the nursery to our senior adults, we believe that every age can benefit from an opportunity to be formed in the Christian faith in Sunday school. There are a number of adult classes for people at various stages of faith, from new converts to mature Christian believers. Children and youth classes provide age-appropriate opportunities to grow in the faith. Information about Sunday school classes is available through the church office: 253-4232.
Prayer
Prayer is the foundation of everything we do at TUMC. From sharing prayer requests in worship, to prayer walks, to the Deep Prayer group, our hope is that people of faith will grow in their prayer life through the opportunities to practice prayer in our various ministries. Additional information about these ministries is available through the church office: 253-4232.
Kids Club After School
Kids Club is a ministry during the school year on Wednesday afternoons for children in 2nd – 6th grades. Kids Club starts with recreation and snacks, then the children go to choir practice with Jeannie Craddock, director.
