Current Adult Bible Studies
Women’s Advent Small Group
Come be part of a group as we look at the questions of people in the Christmas stories and at some Bible passages that you may not have explored at this time of year.
There will be two opportunities to choose from:
Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:30 am
Monday mornings, 9:30-10:30 am
We will be using the book While We Wait by Mary Lou Redding. There will be some work required outside of the weekly group meeting:
1. Reading one chapter this can be done in 15 minutes or less.
2. There are suggested Bible readings (short passages) and reflection/journal questions with each chapter
3. A short time of silent reflection (you determine the time) and suggested 'Breath Prayers' for each reflection.
Registration is needed to make sure we have books and a space that will accommodate the number of participants. Childcare or Sunday School classes are available for children and youth on Sunday morning. Childcare can be provided on Monday by advanced reservation only.
If you have questions, contact Susan McElya, Discipleship Director smcelya@fumcpearland.org or 281.485-1466 ext. 153.
Women’s Morning Bible Study
Just as God gave His people victory over their enemies when they fought in faith, He promises to do the same for us. Following the footprints of bold, courageous faith that God gave His people, we'll be equipped with tools to bravely fight in faith and overcome both our daily struggles and the bigger battles we all face.
Have you ever tried to fight worry with faith and felt you were losing the battle? Have comments like "God's got this!" or "Just pray about it" only left you feeling more burdened? We know we shouldn't worry, but the reality is that we all do at times. Whether it's personal worries about loved ones and daily circumstances or broader concerns about what's happening in the world, we long for something more than platitudes that will help us put real feet to our faith and win the worry battle.
Starting January 14, 2026, we will have a women’s Bible study on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-11:30 am reading through “Winning the Worry Battle” by Barb Roose. This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three steps a person can take to Fight In Faith:
Embrace God's promises
Steep your heart in courage
Act in obedience to God's commands
Disciple: Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study is an approach to Bible study that emphasizes disciplined reading of and listening to Scripture. It results in biblically nourished persons committed to live as disciples.
During the course of 34 weeks, Disciple groups move through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. All Disciple Bible study participants will read more than 70 percent of the Bible. The scripture for each session follows the chronological movement of the biblical story. Each participant makes a commitment to daily preparation (30-45 minutes per day) and weekly attendance and participation in class. Disciple aims at transformation, not just information.
There are currently two Disciple I Classes meeting. Plans are to offer new Disciple I and Disciple II classes beginning in August 2026.
If you would like more information about the Disciple Bible Study, or you are interested in being part of the class, please contact smcelya@fumcpearland.org
