ADULT | Catalog

Together, we study and learn about faith.

We extend a warm invitation to explore our Adult Faith Formation classes. At Manchester UMC, there are continual opportunities for you to engage with like-minded individuals and deepen your spiritual journey and devotion to God. Emphasizing the significance of community, we believe that practicing faith is a collective endeavor.

Let us embark on this spiritual journey together as a church community, and check out these classes!
