George Martin PDF Print E-mail
Those of us 60 and above known as the George Martin Class are proud to be named for our first appointed pastor in 1951. We get our mornings off to a cheerful start at 9:30 with a song session of the classes' suggestion. Our Adult Bible studies are scripture based, an approved United Methodist curriculum in which we're all encouraged to participate. We like to share luncheon fellowship in our classroom at least quarterly and we have an active telephone committee to make sure contacts are made with absentees. Come pay us a visit some Sunday morning!

A friendly and engaging group of married and single adults primarily in their 40's and 50's, but all are welcome. We work together to grow our faith in order to enrich our lives and to more fully understand God's will for our lives. We have lively and open discussions about our faith and would welcome anyone looking to search out their faith in a friendly and loving environment. Our curriculum includes Bible studies as well as book reviews. Socials and other activities are held during the year to give us other opportunities to grow as a group.
 
Seekers PDF Print E-mail

We are an energetic and diverse group of singles and couples, college-age and up, with a longing to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our community and our church.  We’re a very welcoming and supportive class who look out for each other between Sundays, and get together for monthly class mission projects, social events, and fellowship.  In addition to our class members in the Garland area, we also have a strong desire to keep in touch with our larger Axe community and have many members in college and serving in the armed-forces.  When you are in town, we welcome you to join us each Sunday at 9:30 for lively bible-based discussion and fellowship. 

Also, if you would like to find out more about what's going on with the Seekers Class, please join our Facebook group at this link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=128909072978&ref=ts#/group.php?gid=128909072978&ref=ts  , or just perform a search in Facebook under The Axe UMC Seekers Class.

Two By Two PDF Print E-mail

This class is largely made up of "young at heart" seniors plus some younger members, both singles and couples. The class was named when Axe was young and the name no longer correctly describes the membership. ALL are welcome. Our members are active in church-wide activities. The mission of the class is to grow in Christ and in fellowship and to reach out through the missions we regularly support and through various missions within the church throughout the year.

Our capable teacher brings, through lectures and class discussion, biblically based lessons relevant to our lives today. We care about each other and are readily available to help each other in times of need. We enjoy a good time of fellowship when dining out together and at class parties. Through our lessons, helping one another and having fun together, our bond with old and new members is strengthened.

Join us at 9:30am in the Gnagi Parlor, across from the nurseries. The welcome mat is out!
