Wesley Life Groups
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” – Matthew 18:20
The Christian journey was never intended to be walked alone. When we gather with others, we have an amazing opportunity to study God’s Word, support and encourage one another, and journey through life together.
Franklin First UMC’s Small Groups consist of eight to twelve individuals who come together to study, pray, and build relationships with one another. New Small Groups form every month and offer a wide variety of topics. Check the upcoming events calendar for meeting times and locations for all our Small Group Ministry opportunities or contact Mark Coursey at mcoursey@franklinfumc.org or by phone at 794-2734 for more information on how to find a group for you.
