Studies + Classes

We believe that authentic growth in the Christian faith happens in a community where we gather to study and learn what it means to live as disciples of Christ. Classes and studies vary in length from 4 to 34 weeks, depending on the specific study. Looking for a Sunday School class? We have a number of classes ranging in age, marital status, and discussion topics.

Weekly Studies

  • Men's Bible Study

    Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30 a.m.

    You’re invited to join our Men's Bible Study every Wednesday morning for a refreshing and empowering start to your day! Dive deep into the upcoming week's scripture lesson and prepare your heart for worship. Connect with fellow believers, share insights, and grow together in faith.

  • Messy People -- Women's Bible Study

    Wednesdays beginning January 8, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

    Join other women from BUMC and the community for a journey through the pages of the Bible as we study Messy People by Jennifer Cowart. In this six-week study, we will dig into the lives of biblical heroes who were messy people just like us, but who were used by God in powerful ways. Led by Lou Anne Jacobs.

  • Ruth & Esther -- Women's Bible Study

    Thursdays beginning January 9, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

    Women of all ages are invited to join us for an 8-week study of two Old Testament books, Ruth and Esther, using the study guide, Ruth and Esther: Your God Will Be My God. Both books share common themes including the sovereignty of God, the ability of God to provide, the radical and inclusive love of God, and the way God's followers can love God by loving neighbor. Led by Carol Bumbalough and Linda Green.

  • The Sermon on the Mount Bible Study

    Sundays beginning January 12, 2025, 11 a.m.

    The Sermon on the Mount is universally considered to be the greatest sermon ever given. Although almost 2,000 years old, it is amazingly relevant and meaningful for Christians today as it includes some of Jesus’ most famous teachings, including the Beatitudes, the Lord’s Prayer, turning the other cheek, and the Golden Rule. Hosted by the Faith Fellowship Sunday School Class and led by David Pflaum.

  • Micah, Habakkuk, and Jesus Give TED Talks

    Tuesdays beginning January 14, 2025, 6:30-8 p.m.

    What do an ancient shepherd, a questioning prophet, and a carpenter from Nazareth have in common? In this four-week series, we’ll explore the deep connections between Micah, Habakkuk, and Jesus, as their timeless messages challenge us to pursue justice, live with faith, and embrace hope. With insights from Abraham J. Heschel’s The Prophets, we’ll see how Micah’s call to “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly” echoes through Habakkuk’s vision of faith in the face of despair and Jesus’ radical teachings on the kingdom of God. Together, we’ll unpack their prophetic voices and discover their relevance for our modern lives and communities. Study materials will be provided; reading Heschel’s book is encouraged but not required.
