Study Groups & Discipleship Groups
Whether you are completely new to faith and groups or have been around this rodeo before, we’ve got the perfect group for you to connect with God and others. Short-term groups at HFUMC meet each Spring, Summer and Fall and are a wonderful opportunity to develop spiritual friendships while taking your next steps of faith in Jesus Christ. Click on the link below to see our current group offerings.
Discipleship Groups focus on building friendships and taking next steps in faith. Each week that you meet with your discipleship group, you can expect to get to know new people, pray together, and talk about what it means to apply your faith in everyday transformational living. This spring, discipleship groups will also be taking time to endeavor a service project together.
Study Groups emphasize learning new things about God and practices of faith through biblical study. Our study groups incorporate video and discussion-based sessions and are arranged by topic, so you can pick the group that fits your unique interests.

Wednesday Nights from 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Room M-307
One Thousand Gifts:
Discover a way of seeing that opens your eyes to everyday amazing grace, a way of living that is fully alive, and a way of experiencing the constant
presence of God that will bring you deep and lasting joy. There is purity in simplicity and a breathtaking beauty that can be found even in life's slightest details. Ann Voskamp welcomes you in to explore her grace-bathed life of farming, parenting and writing and encourages you to draw nearer to Him and experience your own life in a deeper way, no matter where you are
The Promise and Power of Easter:
Easter is so much more than a holiday. Easter isn't just a date on the calendar; it's the most significant event in human history. It's the celebration of Jesus' resurrection from the dead, and His victory over everything that holds us back in our earthly lives. It's the day we focus on the promise and power of Jesus and draw closer to Him.
Join Christine Caine and Lisa Harper in a transformative study that goes beyond tradition. Walk with them through four weeks of the Lenten season taking in the details of Jesus' life, the agony of His death, and the overwhelming joy of His resurrection.
Relive His steps with a heart full of hope. See it all with eyes of faith. You'll be ready to celebrate Easter in more ways than you ever have and be inspired to share the joy only Jesus could make possible.
Ladies Lunch Hour
Led by Brittany May
Starting February 19
Wednesdays from 11:30 AM - 1 PM
Youth Lounge
Reverend Junius B. Dotson was preaching at a funeral when suddenly he realized he wasn’t going to make it through the service. The next thing he knew, he was in an ambulance on the way to the ER, where he was
diagnosed with extreme exhaustion. Recalling his own journey through grief, depression, burnout, and emotional breakdown, Dotson is passionate about calling for a Soul Reset for pastors, church leaders, and all disciples of Jesus Christ.
This 6-week study is for anyone who moves at breakneck speed through their daily lives, often relying only on their own strength to bring God’s kingdom on earth. Jesus shows us a different way—an easier, unforced rhythm of what kingdom living looks like. It’s a balance of work, rest, play, worship, exercise, and eating well —spiritual practices that keep our souls hydrated and healthy as we do the work of the church in the world. Soul Reset: Breakdown, Breakthrough, and the Journey to Wholeness also includes companion resources that can be used for a churchwide study, including: downloadable video sessions; DVD; age-level discussion guides for children, youth, and adults; sermon starters, and an eCourse.
Soul Reset is a call for the church and all of Jesus’ disciples to reset and reorder their lives around spiritual practices, to learn to walk through our difficult seasons with our souls connected to the source of Living Water so that we don’t burn out or break down. And if we do burn out or break down, we learn to lift one another up and point one another back to Jesus.
