Discipleship Groups

HUMC offers a variety of Discipleship Groups throughout the year. Studies and Group topics vary from season to season, so check back often for additional studies.

The Good and Beautiful God – Small Group Study

Wednesdays at 6:30 PM | 10 weeks
Book by Rev. James Bryan Smith

This study explores what we believe about God and how those beliefs shape our daily lives and spiritual journey. Each week we’ll reflect on how God is revealed in Scripture, how we sometimes misunderstand Him, and how discovering the truth can draw us deeper into the love of Jesus. Open to anyone and everyone wanting to take one step deeper in their walk with Christ.

Habits of the Household – Small Group for Parents

Sundays at 4:00 PM | 13 weeks
Book by Justin Whitmel Earley | Hosted by Pastor Sarah & Alexis Coburn

Together we’ll read one chapter each week and talk about practical ways to shape our homes and daily routines around faith. This will be a space to share wisdom, find encouragement, and build community with other parents walking the same journey.

Fall Disciple I Fast Track – Old Testament

Wednesdays @ 7 PM |October–February | 13 weeks
Led by Steve Barnes

This course is the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to build a solid foundation in Scripture. Together, we’ll explore the story of God’s people and learn how to read the Bible with both the Holy Spirit’s guidance and practical tools for deeper understanding.

Disciple II Fast Track – Genesis & Exodus

Thursdays @ 7 PM |13 weeks
Led by Chuck Wilson
A deep dive into the first two books of the Bible, Genesis and Exodus. Explore God’s work of creation, covenant, and deliverance in these foundational texts.
(Prerequisite: Disciple I, both Old and New Testament).

Practicing the Way – Small Group

Tuesdays @ 7 PM (every other week, 1st, 3rd, and 5th Tuesdays) | 10 weeks
Led by Michele Sutton

We believe transformation does not happen simply through knowledge but through practice and reflection. In this group, we will explore the practices of Jesus — such as prayer, Sabbath, community, and simplicity — and discover how to build a life more open to the transforming presence of Christ.

Sabbath Keeping

Come join Pastor Sarah in learning about what it means to Sabbath as we go into our busy season of Fall. From September 7th through October 1st, with one group meeting Sunday mornings after worship at 11:15, and one group meeting Wednesdays at 7pm in the Walston Room, practice Spiritual Formation like Jesus as we learn to allow ourselves to be nurtured by God.
