College & Graduate Student Sunday School

Sundays | 10:00 a.m. | Room 318

This Sunday morning class is a welcoming space for college and graduate students who want to engage Scripture thoughtfully and honestly. Together, the group is currently exploring the Bible through the lives of women in Scripture. We're listening closely to their stories, faith, courage, and complexity, and considering what they reveal about God and about us. Whether you are new to church or just new to AFUMC, this is a great place to jump right in! Led by Rev. Dr. Natalee Dukes Hamby.

Sunday Lunch

Most Sundays at Noon-- stay after worship for a homecooked meal, table discussions from the sermon, and time to hang out with other students and young adults! Sunday Lunch is our connection and gathering point. We have small groups and Bible studies throughout the week and events throughout the semester, but Sunday Lunch is our chance for everyone to gather together, create lasting friendships, and experience a place that feels like home. Grab a friend and come experience the feeling of welcome and a taste of home with us!

Sunday Lunch Returns January 18! We will have lunch together most Sundays in the Spring.
