Short-Term Classes

Discover Linworth Classes

Are you new (or newish) to Linworth UMC? Would you like to get to know some of the staff a little bit better? Do you have questions about the church and its ministries? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then we invite you to one of our upcoming " Discover Linworth" classes. These classes give you an opportunity to have lunch with both the pastoral and program staff of the church. You'll also get a chance to learn about the ministries and mission of Linworth as well as the United Methodist Church as a whole. Childcare is provided if we are notified ahead of time. Those who take the class will be given an opportunity to officially join the church. Taking the class does NOT mean you need to join the church, but it is required for those who wish to join.  Have questions? Contact Pastor Brian Gath (bgath@linworthumc.org),  Pastor of Membership Care and Small  Groups
