Grow With Us: Fall Adult Discipleship Groups
Grow in Christ. Practice the way of Jesus. Walk alongside others.
This fall, Thomasville First Methodist Church is offering several opportunities to grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and practice the way of Jesus alongside others. Morning, evening, in-person, and online options are available.
Men’s Group
Facilitator: Scott Stanfill
When: Tuesdays at 6:00 am
Where: On Campus in Portico #2
Begins: August 18
Cost: Free; no materials required
All men are invited to a weekly discipleship group beginning with a deep dive into Romans 12 and what it means to become an R12-Man. No registration is required.
Practicing the Way Course
Facilitator: Tim Peck
In person: Tuesdays, 11:00 am–12:15 pm; Fellowship Building, Room 5
Online: Thursdays, 7:00–8:15 pm on Zoom
Begins: September 1 or September 3
Length: 8 weeks
Materials: Optional workbook through Realm or Amazon ($13.44); reading Practicing the Way ($20.38) is encouraged
Based on John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way, this “curriculum for Christlikeness” recovers ancient spiritual practices that help us apprentice to Jesus amid a distracted, fragmented, and hurried culture. Both formats follow the same weekly schedule and material; online participants receive a Zoom link each week.
Discipleship Essentials
Facilitator: Scott Stanfill
When: Wednesdays, 10:00–11:30 am or 6:00–7:15 pm
Intro session: September 2

Discipleship Essentials: A Guide to Building Your Life in Christ is an empowering journey through essential Christian teaching. Participants will deepen their understanding, strengthen their faith, and learn how to invest spiritually in others. The group follows the Wednesday Night church calendar.
Women’s Small Group: Breathe
Facilitator: Jessica White
Study: Breathe by Priscilla Shirer
When: Wednesdays in September, 6:00–7:15 pm
Where: Upchurch, Room 1
Length: 5 weeks
Begins: September 2
Materials: Purchase your own book
One of the greatest challenges for women in our culture is taking time to step away from constant activity and simply breathe. This five-week study explores Sabbath as God’s gift of rest, tranquility, and renewal.
Disciplines of the Spirit
Leader: Rev. Dr. Ken Myers
When: Wednesdays at 10:00 am or 6:00 pm
Begins: September 16
Length: 7 weeks
Using Maxie Dunnam’s Disciplines of the Spirit, participants will explore how salvation is more than a one-time event. Brief daily readings, journaling exercises, and weekly conversations will deepen participants’ relationship with Christ as they practice the means of grace.
We hope you will find a group that fits your schedule and supports your next step in discipleship. Register today and join us as we grow in Christ together! You can also call the Church Office to register at (229)226-0840.
