Small Groups

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

At First Washington UMC, we strive to make connections through small groups.  We have offerings of in-person and online groups. For more information on how to get connected,  please reach out to our Director of Discipleship Ministries Shara Neubert at sharawillming@gmail.com.

Wiser Together is taking a break for the summer.  We will start up with our weekly meetings in September.

Soul Care

How we respond to the events of our everyday lives is our spiritual journey.  Soul care is a way of companioning others as they intentionally seek to notice and listen more closely to the guidance and transforming work of God in their everyday lives. Whether in a group or a one-on-one setting, soul care creates the opportunity to gain clarity and experience God’s grace and love in your present circumstances.
