Learn...Love...Live...Through Sunday School

Roswell UMC offers Sunday School classes for all adults -- young, single, married, or in various other stages of life. Our programs are designed to help you live a more meaningful and fulfilling Christian life.

Classes meet concurrently with the Contemporary Service at 9:30 a.m. and the Traditional Service at 11 a.m.  Most classes meet during one of those times; Women of Faith have sessions meeting at both times.

Classes below are listed by age categories. Classes specifically for singles are at the end of the list. (To jump to the singles classes click here).

Age categories and designations such as "couples" or "singles" or "parents" are not strictly interpreted -- they will just give you an idea of where most of the class members see themselves.

Feel free to visit a few classes until you find the place that feels like "home." There is no need to call ahead or sign up or anything -- just drop in.  If you'd like someone to walk with you to class and introduce you to a few folks, call Rev. Julie Wright, Assistant Minister, Adult Discipleship, 770.261.1732.

Many classes have their own page giving information about the class. If the class name in the list is underlined, click on it to go to the class page.

Please visit us any Sunday at 9:30 or 11 a.m.
