First United Methodist Church offers Christian education for all ages, primarily on Sunday mornings. We use a variety of Bible based curricula for all ages. We believe the Bible teaches us about the character of God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and about his saving plan through Jesus Christ, His Son.
