WHAT IS THE BIBLE? AND HOW SHOULD WE READ IT?--The stories of the Bible are old … we all know that. They are written with languages and from cultures different than our own. Yet, we believe that the Bible contains truths applicable to our life in the 21st century.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

FUMY Discipleship Project--Following the model of Acts 2:42, we start with some corporate worship, then break off in small groups, and finish the night back together for prayer. If you’re interested in going deeper in your relationship with God and your involvement in the FUMY community, you need to be in a discipleship group. We offer a variety of small groups with different focus and content…so come and find the one that is right for you, and don’t worry, if you’re interested in learning about something we’re not currently teaching, just ask and we’ll make it happen. This time is geared completely around you… answering your questions, addressing your concerns. The goal is to help you grow in Christ. Come! You’ll be glad you did. For more information about the topics currently being discussed by the various small groups, consult our website www.fumyapp.com, under the “about us” tab.
