Small Groups

Many Christ-followers prefer the casual and intimate setting of a small group. Small groups are typically longer in length, so members can get to know one another on a deeper level.

First United Methodist Church New Braunfels hosts several small groups, so if you are interested in knowing more, joining an existing group, or starting your own small group, please contact Karen Andrews.

Come, Wade, Dive

Come, Wade, Dive is First United Methodist Church New Braunfel’s discipleship program. In the fall and spring, we offer a variety of classes for disciples of all levels. If you are new to the faith, then our “Come” classes will be a good fit for you. If you are ready to wade out into the water of discipleship, then check out our “Wade” classes. If you feel you are ready to go deeper in your faith walk, then our “Dive” classes are for you.
