regardless of your level of bible knowledge. The classes

in-depth study of scripture. Through Disciple, you will
be strengthened in your faith and guided into service
and ministry. Strong, biblically-nourished members will
help our church grow in vitality and Christian
discipleship. But, you do not have to be a member of
Elgin FUMC - or even a Methodist - or even a Christian -
to enjoy these exciting studies. Many couples have
enjoyed strengthened relationships by taking classes
together.
