Adult Education

10:00 am

You may have graduated from high school, and you may have graduated from college, but you never graduate from Sunday school! Learning about God, and growing to become the person that God wants you to be, is a lifelong experience. We strongly encourage you not to be satisfied with what you already know or with where you currently are in your faith, but to keep learning and growing throughout your life. Here at Montrose Zion, we offer a wide variety of classes for people of all ages and interests. Please take a minute to read about some of these and find one which appeals to you!

Saturday Nighter’s Class (Rm. 155)

Sweet Hour of Prayer (Scout Room)

Matthew 18:20 ... “For where 2 or 3 have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” Come and gather in His name! We meet for the specific focus of praying for our church. We follow the ACTS format for prayer ... Adoration (praise), followed by silent Confession, followed by prayers of Thanksgiving, and concluding with prayers of Supplication for our church staff and families. We pray through the church bulletin to cover each week’s activities and concerns. Please join us!

Emmaus Class (Rm. 5)

We help believers grow in faith by spending time in studies ranging from Christian living to Bible Study. In the class, participants discuss how we can better understand and work out the salvation available to us by faith in Jesus Christ. We use a variety of study resources ranging from books to video series, changing our focus of study several times a year. Join us any time!

Java & Jesus (Rms. 6 & 8)

Bring your coffee downstairs to Rms. 6 & 8, for this time of fellowship, and discussion of the sermon/service. Consider the sermon a starting point, not something that is finished and done in 20 minutes on Sunday morning. Often it puts things in perspective, and even challenges us as we do life together. Gather with us as we share thoughts such as "what new insights have you learned about yourself or the way God is calling you to live?"

Young Adult Small Group (Rm. 7)

Jesus encouraged his listeners to search, to question, to wrestle with the implications of what he was saying and doing. Our Young Adult small group discusses those questions and implications in a meaningful way in an attempt to truly follow Christ.

Are You Being Called to Mission? (Rm. 5)

“Faithful Witnesses: United Methodist Theology of Mission” by John Edward Nuessle, will take a deeper look at what mission is truly all about. Anyone who is interested in becoming more involved in mission work, both within and outside the walls of Montrose Zion, should consider participating in this enriching and dynamic experience.

Doorways (Conference Rm.)

The mission of MZUMC is to make and mature Disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world. Please join us as we study our Wesleyan heritage and how it connects with our specific church core values. This class is an opportunity for anyone new wanting to enter into the life of the MZ church family as well as those who have been here for years and would like to reacquaint themselves with the mission of Christ’s Church.
