Wednesday Evening Studies
Your relationship with Christ is a long walk, not a destination.
Our Wednesday Evening Studies are for EVERYONE! Each semester we have evening prayer and then a variety of classes on different spiritual topics. These classes will help you build relationships in the church and grow in your relationship with God!
These classes are offered as part of our Launch Sequence, a sequential program of spiritual growth developed for Suntree UMC Members.

After the meal, we’ll break out into Suntree Kids, Suntree Youth (EDGE), and Grow Classes. We can’t wait to see you at the table!

Gut-Level Compassion (Suntree Women’s Ministry) | 6:15pm | Room 108 | Amber Mangle & Laura White. PERFECTION NOT REQUIRED! Join us for a deep dive into the Gospel of Luke, where we discover that perfection is not a prerequisite for a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In fact, this gospel reveals that Jesus is especially fond of ragamuffins in need of a safe place to lean in and linger! Join us in this Bible Study of a gospel that doesn’t celebrate the elite, but embraces the outliers, outcasts, and overlooked! Please purchase a copy of Luke: Gut-Level Compassion in preparation for this class. You can purchase it through Amazon here, or order it through your local bookstore.
Overview of the New Testament | 6:15pm | Room 109 | Bob Rexrode & Terry Oswalt. What does Jesus call his disciples to do?
