Adult Small Groups
Wesley Wednesdays
Discipleship Classes
Discipleship at Wesley Freedom is all about growing to be more and more like Jesus. In Methodism, we believe that one of the most effective ways this happens is through small groups and classes! Our Wesley Wednesdays program provides opportunities for all ages to grow deeper through study, discussion and activity!
Disciple Fast Track is an intermediate-level bible study. It is designed as an introduction to scripture for those who have made the decision to be a Disciple, or those curious about what the Bible actually says in context.

Life Groups
Life Groups are made up of people who share common interests, life stage or geographic area. They covenant together to meet weekly, study scripture or discipleship practices, and serve beyond the walls of the church every month or two. These groups commit to staying together for 12-18 months and have a maximum number of participants.
Discipleship Groups
Meet weekly with groups of people to explore Scripture and the Christian faith. In these groups you will find people ranging from those who aren’t sure about Christianity and want to learn more to those who are committed disciples and love to go deeper. New seasonal studies are formed throughout the year so there is always something starting. Or, jump right in to one of our ongoing classes!
Fellowship
Groups
This eclectic class of social groups each has its own unique flavor. Friends gather to enjoy each other’s company while they have breakfast, lunch, or attend a special event. Some include time for prayer and devotion, but their main focus is just to get together

Ongoing Discipleship Groups

Yes, it is that simple. This group works through the Bible a “Chapter” at a time, moving between the Old Testament and the New Testament. This group is one you can move in and out of as each week’s study is independent of itself; you don’t have to worry about missing a class or making up work.
