Discipleship Groups
Discipleship groups are a great way to build lasting friendships with other Christians, while exploring and learning strong Biblical teachings. At Nashville Methodist Church, we offer a variety of classes. In these classes we learn and practice the teachings of the Bible; to love one another, encourage one another, pray for one another, accept one another, bear one another's burdens, and build up one another.
By attending a group with others of similar needs and interests, you will feel free to join in discussions of weekly Bible topics and share insights. You will also learn from others who have had similar triumphs and struggles that can be lifted up through prayer and support from your small group.
Most groups at NMC aren't divided by age, so you may fit in several different classes. We encourage guests to visit one or more classes. With the variety of classes offered, we are sure God will lead you to a class where you will feel loved and will help you to grow in your walk with Jesus.
