Epworth Group

Life together in early Methodism was sustained through a variety of groups each in their own way aimed to provide spiritual formation for inward life and outward service.

UMsConnected reflects this same commitment through what we are calling Epworth Groups. We help people start a group (or link an existing one) where they live.


Epworth Group/Local

People are drawn to this option for a variety of reasons: general need, a local church closure or disaffiliation, not living near a UMC congregation, attending school away from your home church, being in the military, moving to a new place, etc.

We have an “Epworth Group Guide” to help you start a new group or bring an existing one into the UMsConnected network. This may be just what you will need to do where you live, either temporarily or for the long haul.

Email Dr. Steve Harper at umsconnected@flumc.org to request it. We want to walk with you if you want to launch an Epworth Group where you live.
