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.

The Walk: Five Essential Practices of the Christian Life | 6:15pm | Room 101/102 | Pastor Annette. What does it mean to walk with Christ? Join Pastor Annette for a deep dive into five essential spiritual practices that are rooted in Jesus’ own walk with God: worship, study, serving, giving, and sharing our faith. Each week, we’ll explore one of these spiritual practices. We’ll learn about its foundation in the New Testament, and we’ll discuss what it looks like to pursue this practice in our daily life and together in the life of the church.
Believing Jesus (Women’s Ministry) | 6:15pm | Room 108| Amber & Laura. Hey women! Are you ready to connect with other women? Are you eager to join a sisterhood where things like humility, vulnerability, sharing joy, and laughing out loud are normal and expected? You’re invited to join us on Wednesday Night! If you want, pick up a copy of Believing Jesus: A Journey through the Book of Acts by Lisa Harper. We are using this book to guide some of our discussion, but it’s not required. Free childcare is available.
EDGE (Middle School, grades 6 - 8) | 5:30pm | Upstairs in The LOFT | Pastor Joel. Each Wednesday, we’ll join everyone for Wednesday Dinner from 5:30pm - 6pm, and then head upstairs to the Youth Room (The LOFT) for EDGE.
