Children and youth Sunday School
  • We have classes for age 2 through adults. Sunday School is held at 9:45am on Sunday mornings and is open to everyone – members and non-members of WUMC.
  • To enroll your child or youth in Sunday School on a Sunday morning, please come with your child or youth to the appropriate classroom a little early to meet the teacher and complete a registration form or register online by clicking here to visit our Registration Pages.
Adult Sunday School
We have three ongoing classes for adults: The DISCUSSION CLASS, NEW LIFE IN CHRIST CLASS and CONTEMPORARY LIVING CLASS. The classes usually run in six-week sessions, changing topics and leaders for each session. It is not necessary to attend a class at the beginning of a session.
  • The Discussion Class is a smaller group that studies and discusses in an informal, friendly setting.
  • The New Life in Christ Class is a larger group and usually opens with a presentation or video, and then breaks into smaller groups for discussion.
  • The Contemporary Living Class is just that :) we explore contemporary topics such as parenting, current world, and many others.

Our Sunday morning NURSERY is staffed by well-trained paid-staff and dedicated volunteers who enjoy caring for infants and toddlers. The nursery is open for all services to assist parents with children age 4 and younger and our sign-in/sign-out system assures their safety  Arrive a little early to complete a registration form or register online by clicking here.  We always welcome new volunteers.  Contact:  Michelle Olson at M.Olson@wumcmd.org
Confirmation
Wednesday evenings, 6:30-8pm
CONFIRMATION is a special time in a young person’s life.  Here at Westminster, we offer confirmation for youth who are entering the eighth grade.  In confirmation we delve into the teachings and practices of the Christian Faith.  This Fall, Confirmation will be offered on Wednesday evenings, 6:30–8pm. 

In addition to participating in the classes, confirmands are required to be in worship once a week, participate in youth group, and also participate in a mission opportunity. 

Our pastors and youth directors will be responsible for teaching our classes and each confirmand will have the opportunity to chose a mentor.

For information regarding current or future classes, please contact Pastor Malcolm, m.stranathan@wumcmd.org or 410-660-6606.
