We seek to grow in faith together through intergenerational discipleship opportunities and to build strong relationships through gathering, breaking bread together, and sharing our stories.
We have a variety of groups that meet on an ongoing basis. We also have short-term studies that meet in the fall and spring.
Interested in getting connected with a group? Contact Deacon Jeanne Koontz @ jeanne.koontz@mcphersonfumc.com or 620-241-3626
FALL GROUPS
Join us this fall as we learn to live like Jesus and strengthen our connection with one another. Groups begin the week of September 15th.
THE CLASS MEETING

In his exploration of Jesus’ teaching and travels with his disciples, Berlin suggests that Jesus teaches us how to love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength by showing us how to love our neighbor. A great follow-up to our worship series “Do Unto Others: A Campaign for Kindness.”

Discover simple habits and easy-to-implement daily rhythms that will help you find meaning beyond the chaos of family life as you create a home where kids and parents alike practice how to love God and each other.
THE AFTER PARTY
Group Leaders: Pastor Andrew Conard and Sandy Hunter
Meeting Times: Mondays at 6:00 pm
Have you ever wondered how you can engage in politics in a way that reflects Jesus? It’s so tempting to focus on (or even argue about!) what policy, party, or candidate is most Christian. But we’ve got our priorities backwards. The real question for us is “How do I relate to others — including those I might disagree with — so that I better reflect Jesus?” The After Party will help you reorient your heart and mind toward a Christ-centered political identity, in 2024 and beyond. Find out more at after-party.org.
