Adult Ministry
The adult ministries at Bethany United Methodist Church offer a variety of ways in which we minister to adults. Examples include educational classes and forums, fellowship groups, outings, retreats, and much more. Listed below are just a few of the opportunities available.
Adult Education
Bethany offers a variety of studies each year. These range from short-term studies or focused topics to year-long survey courses of the entire Bible. Currently all classes are held via Zoom. For specific links to these classes, check our Upcoming Events page. Current studies include:
Big Read: Field Notes from the Wilderness
Beginning this fall everyone is invited to participate in a study group held Sundays and during the week. Details are on our Upcoming Events page.
Back to School with Pastor Brad
Tuesdays, 10:00 am on Zoom
This fall will be studying a lecture series titled, How Winston Churchill Changed the World.
The series takes a look at the tumultuous story of Winston Churchill who did more than perhaps any other individual to shape the 20th century. His is a fascinating journey that takes him from the dawn of the Edwardian Age to the dawn of Beatlemania; from the days when the British Empire ruled the seas to its twilight as the preeminent global power; and from the chaos of two world wars to the equally fraught tensions of the Cold War.
Each week, we’ll begin with a half and hour lecture presented by Dr. Michael Sheldon, a professor at Indiana State University. Following the lecture, we’ll talk about what we learned and thoughts that come to mind. Each class is stand alone, which means if you’re not able to attend, you’ll seamlessly be able to join the next class. If you’re not sure whether or not the class is right for you, please consider giving it a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Classes are held on Tuesday mornings beginning at 10:00. Friends and guests are always welcome. And remember – attendance is never taken.
