The GO6 Sunday School Class of First United Methodist Church in Dallas is an innovative, discussion-based class. The class is composed of a diverse group of individuals who vary in age, marital status, theology, and politics, and who come from various parts of the DFW Metroplex.
Discussions are customarily centered on books or texts chosen by the class for reading. We believe our discussion format better allows clarity to each of us, with each of us better internalizing the principals of our faith and the application of these principals in our daily lives. The primary focus is applying Christian values to everyday life. The class is welcoming and inclusive of all persons, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, marital status, socioeconomic status, physical or mental ability, or sexual orientation (straight, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender).
We welcome all persons into full participation in the United Methodist Church through our congregation’s open table in the heart of Dallas’ Arts District. It has gone through the formal process of becoming a Reconciling Class meaning that it thinks God’s church should welcome all people in whatever role they choose to participate – member, clergy, staff, lay leadership. GO6 provides quarterly dinners for the folks living at Ewing House, a residential facility for people living with AIDS. It also raises funds annually so that the students at J.J. Rhoads Elementary School in South Dallas can all receive a book of their own at the end of the academic year.
