Compass Class is a Sunday School class that welcomes young adults with careers and children.

Heritage was formed in the early 1960’s and transformed over the years into a larger diverse class made up of singles and couples from all walks of life. We are a loyal, loving, and caring group who fast become friends. Lessons range from Scripture to diverse lessons and often host guest speakers, all of which are based on our Christian beliefs. Opportunities are plentiful for volunteering, prayers, and financial support of missions and local projects. Heritage offers quarterly social gatherings. Many of our current members represent the mature age bracket, but we welcome all ages.

Inspiration is a great source of encouragement and support and meets weekly to study lessons from the Bible and discuss how to apply these lessons to everyday life. We enjoy the fellowship during class as well as class socials and serving and volunteering for many of 1st UMC’s programming such as Welcome Table, 1st Kids, Choir, as well as in our communities. Average age of members is between 30-50 including both singles and couples.

Open Arms is a class of progressive Christians of all ages and backgrounds. Our arms are open to anyone who would like to attend! We believe in the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as the love and compassion of Christ. The class facilitator prepares slides summarizing a chapter of a book and poses questions to promote discussion. We aim to provide a safe space for sharing, being honest and vulnerable, and keeping minds open to possibilities. The United Methodist Church proclaims "Open Minds. Open Hearts. Open Doors." We aim to gain a deeper understanding of our faith and show God's love to others through Open Arms.

Sojourners is an adult coed Sunday School Class that uses the United Methodist Sunday School Curriculum for weekly studies.  With multiple facilitators, the class has variety in scope and style, creating a fun and exciting learning environment.  Discussion and participation by the whole class is encouraged and takes advantage of the knowledge, viewpoints, and perspectives of all our members. Besides studying together, we are a Life-group that regularly spends social time together, growing in relationship with Christ and supporting each other through good times and hard.  We welcome guests and new members.

Trendsetters are a group of active adult singles and couples committed to deepening our walk with Christ through Bible study.  Our group is actively involved in the ministries of First Church.  We seek to encourage and challenge each other each Sunday morning through our study using a discussion format that allows us to share experiences about our faith journey.  All are welcome. "Go and be perfect" is our constant goal and weekly challenge.
