Adult Discipleship

To be a disciple is to know, learn from, and follow Jesus—and discipleship is a lifelong journey best traveled together. At FUMC Dallas we intentionally create space for belonging and joy so that everyone, from first-time guest to longtime member, can grow in faith. We trust that Jesus meets us in our real lives—at work, at home, in our neighborhoods—and invites us to follow in ways that are authentic and life-giving.

Discipleship here looks like small groups, classes, and service teams that foster friendship and purpose; ministries that stand for justice in our city; and gatherings that celebrate the joy of God’s presence among us. Wherever you are on your spiritual path, you’ll find a community ready to walk with you—magnifying God’s love, together.
You’re invited to First Steps! We know the efforts it takes to find a church that feels like the right place for you, so we want to make it as easy as possible to learn more about who we are and what we do. Our clergy will share practical steps you can take to get more connected, answer questions you might have about our theological beliefs and positions, and encourage you as you explore our church community.

Next First Steps: October 2026
If you want to find a community to do life and faith together, if you want to learn, grow, and have fun with others, if you want to know and be known, then join all First Church adults for our First Belong Gathering! Meet different Sunday school classes, learn about resources, and hear a meaningful lesson. We meet in the Atrium, with breakfast bites and good coffee served!
First Belong happens twice a year.

Next First Belong: January 2026
