NEW- LIfe Groups

Now, more than ever, we need community and connection. Click here to learn about a NEW way that we can stay connected to God and the Church even while we are not worshiping together and gathering in large groups.

Life groups are small groups of people who covenant to journey together through a season of life, help one another grow in holiness of heart and life, and equip one another to participate in God‘s mission in the world. Group members attend to the ways that God is at work in their lives, agreeing to do all in their power to help one another grow in faith, hope, and love.

The Disciple’s Pathway

NRUMC welcomes everyone! Whether attending for the first time or a life-long member, know this is a caring environment to experience God’s love and grace. John Wesley, one of the founders of the Methodist movement, believed faith is a lifetime of following Jesus, guided by the Holy Spirit and lived out through practice as we continue to grow in grace. Wesley promoted “tried and true” methods for spiritual growth such as reading Scripture, praying, worshiping, gathering in small groups, serving, and giving.

We at NRUMC pray this Discipleship Pathway helps you develop a means for growing in faith as you follow Jesus. Take some time to explore possibilities and to pray for a deeper walk with God. We are here to help and encourage all by providing opportunities for growth so that God’s Spirit can work! For more information, take a look at the “Let’s Grow Together Chart” on this page and check out the variety of small groups and studies available below.
