  • Looking for a way to dig into God’s Word, grow in faith, and connect with friends old and new? This fall, we’ve got three exciting Bible studies starting up — and there’s a seat saved just for you.


    Tuesday Morning Ladies’ Bible Study

    The Tuesday Morning Ladies are kicking off with Twelve Women of the Bible: Life-Changing Stories for Women Today by Sherry Harney. Each week, you’ll do a short lesson at home, then gather for a quick video and discussion together. It’s a chance to learn from the raw, real stories of 12 incredible women of Scripture and see how their lives can encourage us today. Contact Ali Strand for more information.


    Starts Tuesday, August 26 at 9:30 am in the Community Room. Check out the book on Amazon


    Women’s Virtual Bible Study

    If online works best for you, join us on Zoom for Discovering Hope in the Psalms. Each Wednesday morning, we’ll dive into ten psalms that will lift your spirit and remind you of God’s hope. With teaching, discussion, and even opportunities for creative expression, this study is the perfect midweek boost. Melissa Cheng and Glenna Tabor will be leading us with encouragement every step of the way. Contact Glenna Tabor for more information and the Zoom link.


    Starts Wednesday, August 27, at 9:00 am (Zoom)


    Friends in Faith Sunday Study

    On Sundays, our Friends in Faith group will be starting Half Truths by Adam Hamilton. Ever heard phrases like “God won’t give you more than you can handle” or “Everything happens for a reason”? Together, we’ll unpack what Scripture really says about these common sayings - and discover a deeper, more freeing truth.


    Starts Sunday, September 7, at 10:00 am in Room 102


    No matter which study you choose, you’ll find a warm welcome, encouraging conversation, and the joy of walking through God’s Word together.

  • Bridging with Bradley is a mentoring ministry at Bradley Elementary School. Faith members are partnered with an up-and-coming student so that the student can grow in leadership and self-esteem, and so our members can make an impact in a student’s life. Mentors commit to having lunch with their student every other week during the school day. Please email Julie Vidonic if you want to serve as a mentor!

  • Confirmation Class begins Sunday, Sept. 7!


    Students in 6th grade and up are invited to join us Sundays at 10 am in the Education Building music room to explore faith, the church, and saying “yes” to God’s grace.


    Questions? Email Debbie or click here for more info.

  • Hunger doesn’t take a break during the school day. In Grand Oaks High School alone, over 30% of students struggle to access enough food, and that’s just one of 19 schools in our area.


    You can help us close the gap. Faith UMC is partnering with Conroe ISD to collect nut-free, kid-friendly snacks for students who need a boost to get through the day.


    Suggested donations: Goldfish, Cheez-Its, cheese crackers, granola bars, applesauce pouches, animal crackers, pretzels, veggie straws, fruit snacks, chips, Skinny Pop, beef sticks (please, peanut-free).


    Every bag of pretzels or box of crackers you give is more than just food - it’s comfort, energy, and hope for a student who needs it.


    Thank you for helping us nourish our kids, one snack at a time. Donations can be dropped of in the collection area in the Children's Hallway.


  • Acolytes play a special role in worship: they bring the light of Christ into the sanctuary at the beginning of the service and carry it out into the world at the end. It’s a beautiful, symbolic way to participate in leading worship. For more information, email Dorothy Peterson.

  • We’re making it easier than ever to stay in the loop. Here’s the scoop:

    Slimmed-Down Bulletin – Sunday bulletins will only show what’s happening this week – no more endless lists of things you don’t need (you’re welcome).

    The Weekly Word – Our new weekly email and text will replace the Faith Messenger. You’ll get a quick note from Pastor David, highlights of what’s happening, and easy links to get involved – all in one tidy package.

    Website Refresh Coming This Fall – Think less “2008 time capsule” and more “wow, that’s nice.”

    Why the changes? To give you what you need, when you need it – minus the clutter.
