Who Are We?
We are newcomers to Christianity, lifelong Methodists, and former members of many different Christian denominations. We are young and old, married and single, gay and straight, liberal and conservative, non-conformists and traditionalists, those recovering from addictions, those still battling addictions, and those whose challenges take other forms. We are imperfect children of God who find meaning and purpose as followers of Christ, and who find authentic community here at FUMC Sherman. We are people who risk asking the tough questions, who are comfortable wrestling with important issues, and whose identity is shaped by seeking to follow the teachings of Christ as best we can. We are those who want to be intentional about our spiritual journey, and who believe that it is through Jesus that we find our way to God.

Sunday School
Asbury
A group of active senior adults who are highly visible in the life of the church. We enjoy scripture-based bible lessons and lively discussions during the Sunday School hour and frequently fellowship together outside of church involvement. One of our favorite gatherings is a monthly "Game Night" at select member's homes to enjoy a meal and fellowship. We readily encourage and accept new members into our joyful circle. Be our guest in room 127.
Bible
Through study and discussion of the Old and New Testaments, members delve deeply into the texts, topics, and discussions that allow their relationship to their faith and with God to grow. Not only does the group discuss their thoughts with each other during class, learning different perspectives, but they support each other outside of class as well. They enjoy each other's company within and outside the classroom - from developing new friendships to well-attended planned gatherings. Come see us in room 129.
Faith
Our name says it all. FAITH stands for Friends Are In The Heart. Plus, we have the best-class origin story ever. Sometime 50 or 60 years ago a few people of FMC decided to form the FAITH Sunday School class. However, it was discovered there was no room in the inn i.e. no classrooms available in the church. So some unknown person from the class asked an acquaintance of his from Finley Playhouse if the class could meet there until a room became available in the inn. You are invited to come to make new friends, learn together, and get your week off to a great start! We meet in room 131.
Climbers
We meet in the prettiest room in the building, the Parlor, or room 140. We study together and grow together in a loving supportive environment. You are invited to climb with us.
Genesis
Most of us are in our 30's-50's but all people are welcome. We combine life study and bible study to see how we might apply our relationship with Jesus Christ in our daily lives. We meet on the first Sunday of the month at Mosaic.
Samaritan
An inclusive environment for adults with physical and mental disabilities that focuses on how Jesus loves them. We meet in room 145.
