Small Group Studies
Ithaca UMC is not simply a church with small groups. As a church of small groups, we believe that as the Acts 2 church met together on a regular basis, we should as well.  To be a believer - to be a part of Christ's Church - should be to meet together frequently and consistently.  This must become a passion for all of us, that as we desire to be Christ's church, we would also want to look closely at the Acts 2 model and then be courageous and obedient enough to emulate it.
 
If you are currently not involved in a small group, now is a great time to get involved.  These groups are an important way to stay connected in the church and grow together.
 
To join a small group study or start one of your own, contact Mark Monroe, Ken Gibson, the church office, or e-mail connect@ithacaumc.org.

Some of Our Previous Content (Books Provided - No Purchase Necessary)
Like a tattoo, the fundamental truths of the faith are supposed to be permanently etched into us. However, a lifetime of learning, loving, and living the scriptures requires that at some point, we really begin to understand where they come from and what they mean.

The Absolute Basics of the Christian Faith is a visual introduction to the core beliefs of the Christian faith. While it assumes no background knowledge of the scriptures or church teachings, this eight-week study is stocked with rich explanation and engaging videos that bring catechesis to life for people of all ages, backgrounds, and stops along their spiritual journey. Like all books, it is possible to read this one alone, but it is designed specifically to be studied in community—to lead small and large groups through the big ideas of the faith. The memory verses, catechism, text, and videos in each lesson work together seamlessly to provide a clear, compelling introduction to Christian belief.
​

In working through this study, you’ll be binding the truth about God on your head, hands, and house through scripture memorization and by learning the answers to important questions about God. Obeying Jesus takes a lifetime of learning. As you enter this study, let God’s grace shape and change you. This is what it means to be a disciple.
