First United Methodist Church of Gilbert conducts several Adult Sunday School classes on Sunday Morning. Currently, at least one class is held during all three worship services at 8, 9:30 and 11am. Come and try each to find one that will encourage you to deepen your faith in God.

Book Club meets the third Thursday of each month at 11:00 am. During the year this group meets in Room 130. During the summer, the location is determined among members each month so be sure to check the online Calendar or the Monthly Evangel. Bring your own sack lunch to eat during the conversation.

Books are chosen by the group and cover a wide range of interests. You do not need to read all the books, instead chose the one(s) you want to read and then attend that monthly meeting. This is a great way to meet people from the church who enjoy reading and discussing what they thought of the book.

For any questions, please email Judy Bristow, call or email the church office (480-892-9166) or use the following registration form:

Mission Statement: To bring men to Christ and a lifelong discipleship journey.

We accomplish this mission through Bible study, discipleship groups, evangelism training, leadership development, accountability groups, mentoring, retreats, mission trips and special events.

We do the thing that God intended to help grow men in faith, other men. To be able to collectively share in their struggles, their walk, and grow in their faith. In addition, we biblically train and equip men to be spiritual leaders in their homes, in the church, and in their places of business.

The Gilbert Men’s Ministry develops men in Christian living to make an eternal impact for this generation and those to come. In today’s culture, it’s increasingly important for men to honor God with their hearts and lives.

Join us for our Gilbert Men’s Breakfast on the third Saturday of each month at 7:30 am in the Activity Center.

• Come enjoy a hearty breakfast
• Meet men for spiritual growth and support
• Personal testimonial & life sharing
• Audio & Video correlation
• Opportunities for involvement in Gilbert Men’s Ministry

We love to have new members be part of our exciting and rewarding bible study. It is never too late to come and join our group.

Alpha Class

This is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed setting. The 10 week course introduces Jesus and his way of life, answering questions like these: Who is Jesus? How does God guide us? Why does God allow suffering? No question is too simple or hostile. Non-denominational. Atheists and agnostics are welcomed. This course starts roughly every 10-11 weeks.
