Led by Pastor Eric Bryant and Pastor Amy Chapman, this 4 week class is for anyone interested in learning more about Christ Church and to deepen your understanding of what it means to be a United Methodist. The class is open to everyone, but is most appropriate for those considering membership or who have joined recently. Registration is requested, but not required.
Why Did Jesus Have to Die? explores the complex significance of Jesus' death, moving beyond simple transaction-based explanations to offer multiple New Testament perspectives (like sacrifice, ransom, victory, reconciliation) to help readers understand how the crucifixion transforms lives and reveals God's love, encouraging faith through deeper understanding rather than just a single theological answer. Register below.
Looking to deepen your relationship with Scripture? Join us for a new weekly Bible Study fellowship, Falling in Love with Your Bible, led by Rev. Ron Young, retired UMC Elder. Together, we will read the Holy Scripture thoughtfully and prayerfully, asking honest questions and discovering how God’s Word continues to shape our lives.
What to bring:
Come grow in faith, curiosity, and community as we learn to fall in love with the Bible—again or for the first time. All ages and stages of life are welcome!
Booked for Lunch is a monthly book club for women of all ages. We believe that stories provide a powerful avenue for thinking deeply about God and faith at work in the world. As we dig into books by bestselling authors, we ask deep questions: Where is God in this story? How do we see love, forgiveness, and grace play out in this text? How does this story affect me, or change my own faith journey as I’m becoming living proof of God’s love, one person at a time? Reading popular books gives us the opportunity to invite others into these conversations about God—whether at our monthly meeting or beyond—and to share the hope, joy and love that we experience while reading in community. We invite you to bring your lunch and join us on the 2nd Thursday each month.
Faith Formation classes meet every Sunday morning at 10:05am. We have a variety of classes for adults. Some are organized by age, some by interest (Bible study, topical conversations, etc.), and some by type of class structure (lecture-style, small group discussion).These classes meet throughout the year.
Finally, a Sunday morning class just for parents of littles! All Things New offers relational, spiritual, and practical encouragement for moms and dads with children from newborn through age 10.
Join your peers in Room 002 for coffee and conversation, for the joy of laughing together and praying together, for the chance to let go of parenting guilt and celebrate the good stuff. We promise, these are your people.

This group is open to all who are interested in growing in their Christian faith in a relaxed and informal small group experience. We typically use the Bible and books with companion videos by authors such as Adam Hamilton, Max Lucado, Amy Jill Levine, and many others as the basis for discussion.

Examples of books we’ve read: Unafraid, When Christians Get It Wrong, Doubt, Christianity’s Family Tree, and Why Did Jesus Have to Die?. Several times a year we have guest leaders. We sometimes pack lunches for Louisville Outreach for the Unsheltered, collect items for different church missions, and volunteer together as a group. All are welcome to join us anytime.

The Friendship Class was formed in the early `70s by six couples. Today we’ve grown to over 150 individuals. But don’t let our size intimidate you! We like to think we’ve grown so well because we offer a unique blend of individuals who have grown together in a special way through Christ.
So, who are we? We’re mostly couples who have cleared out our nests. Many are grandparents, some even great-grandparents. Some of us are single. But all of us are family! Our age range (not that that matters) is roughly 65 to 85.
We hope you will take the opportunity to visit the Friendship Class. Come and experience our special togetherness in Christ. We meet every Sunday with fellowship beginning at 10:05 AM in room 158 for in-person participation and on Zoom for virtual participation. Average attendance is 85 counting both in-person and Zoom.
Lessons are taught by class members and outside speakers on biblical topics as well as other topics relevant to the class. This group has a strong mission outreach emphasis as well as monthly social events.

The Mulligans class is a diverse, accepting, and open-minded group of church members who are actively seeking to discern God's message to us in the history and teachings of the Old Testament, the revelations of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, and the everyday presence of the Holy Spirit. Our basic foundational belief as a class can be simply stated: God is Love! Class sessions are extended (9:30 am to 11:00 am) to cover selected topics in greater depth and typically consist of lively and challenging discussions. While most class sessions are led by class members, invited guest speakers with unique expertise are often invited to present. We study various books of the Bible as well as agreed upon topical books, most related to our emphasis on biblical exploration. We are intentional in our giving and service in supporting various community organization! We average 12 to 18 souls in attendance each week. Coffee and treats are mandatory! We would love to have you join with us to worship and learn.
