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.

Using Adam Hamilton's book Christianity and World Religions: Wrestling with Questions People Ask as our guide, we'll engage in open discussion and respectful exploration as we seek to deepen our understanding of these religions and how they relate to our own Christian faith.

  • On Point Men's Gatherings

    Thursdays, 6:30-7:30 a.m.

    On Point is a weekly gathering of men at Brentwood UMC who want to grow and develop as leaders and disciples. Join other men from all generations to talk about real life and the real things we’re all facing. Chicken biscuits and coffee are provided each week in the Tabernacle.

  • A Disciple's Path

    Ready to grow deeper in your faith? Join A Disciple’s Path, a seven-week study that will help you take your next step of faith. This program is perfect for people new to following Jesus or for people who have grown up in church and want to grow deeper in their faith. Through personal study and group conversations, you'll learn about God’s grace, engage in time-tested practices of spiritual discipline, discover your unique gifts, and see how God wants to transform your life, the lives of others, and the world.

  • Rediscovering the Power of Scripture: The Prophets & Jesus

    Tuesdays beginning October 17, 6-7:30 p.m., (4 weeks)

    Rev. Domenic Nigrelli, Pastor of Adult Education, will lead this engaging four-week discussion. We encourage your active participation as we explore selected passages of Hebrew Prophets and their profound influence on the life and teachings of Jesus. Together, we will uncover the deeper layers of biblical wisdom, reflect on the significance of prophecy, and discover how these timely messages resonate with us today.

    This study is based on Adam Hamilton's book, Making Sense of the Bible: Rediscovering the Power of Scripture Today. Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your faith and embrace the spirit of both the Hebrew Prophets and Jesus for your own life's journey.

  • Grief Care

    Sundays beginning October 22, 11:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., (4 weeks)

    Suffering the death of someone we love is often shocking and almost always overwhelming. Our experience of grief in the last two years has been complicated by distance and isolation which has limited our outlets to process our experiences. Join Rev. Casey Orr for this 4-week class where we will confront our grief, grow to understand it and take steps toward healing with others on the journey. There is no fee to participate in this class, but registration is required.
