Adult Sunday School Classes
Each Sunday at 10, Sunday School classes are offered for all ages.
Fellowship Class
The Fellowship Sunday School Class is a group of couples and singles, aging from Fifty and beyond, who gather each Sunday morning at 10 a.m. in the church Parlor (the building adjacent to the Chapel).
The class discusses the Bible and scripture, as related through a Sunday School lesson book. “Fellowship” truly describes this Class of warm and loving Christians.
Lectionary Class
This Sunday School class meets from 10-10:45 a.m. in the classroom on the church office hallway.
We enjoy open discussion on Scripture chosen from the week’s Lectionary readings by the lesson leader. The Lectionary is a published 3-year cycle of verses, each week highlighting an Old Testament, Psalm, Gospel and Letters selection. The table is arranged to follow the Christian calendar as to complement worship.
Weekly attendance ranges from 12 to 20 members of various ages. Some of us are new to Pittman Park, others new to Methodism, but most of us learn something from each other every Sunday.
As the selected material varies each week, it’s easy to join the class at any time and not feel others are better prepared to participate.
View the current lectionary readings here.
Discovery Class
The Discovery class is facilitated by a rotating group of leaders and is geared toward adults under 50. The class meets from 10-10:45 a.m. in Conference Room 3 and sometimes in a local coffee shop. They are currently examining compassion with the guide Created for Compassion: Kindness in the Culture.

Park Kids is our ministry to ensure all children are welcome, safe and engaged at Pittman Park. Midway through Sunday worship services, children are invited over to “Main Street,” where they will have a chance to hear a lesson geared just for kids. There is also a Sunday School lesson from 10-10:45 where children get to know each other and work through a bible curriculum.
We offer a nursery, located in our Pittman Park Education Center childcare rooms, to care for babies and young toddlers. For preschoolers, we have an Ark in the Park class. The nursery space and Ark in the Park are available from 9-12 every Sunday.
The first Sunday of each month is “Family First Sunday,” when everyone stays in the adult worship service together. The service is mindful of the young attendees, and activity sheets are available to help younger ones stay engaged.
On Wednesday nights from 6:30-7:30, grades K-12 meet for Bible Club.
