Welcome to Sebastian United Methodist Church
Bible Study, Small Group, Covenant Groups
When we gather in smaller groups, Our focus is God's promises in Christ Jesus. Our Bible Studies are open classes that guide us in how the scripture is relevant in our day. And, always drawing us to God.
We, also, encourage Covenant Groups, which are “invitation only” to create a safe space for accountability and confidentiality. Consult the church bulletin or call the church office for times and locations.
