Sunday School Opportunities...
...It's For Life!
Sundays at 9:15 a.m.
Welcome to Benton United Methodist Sunday School Department! We believe the fellowship in these small groups not only nurtures individual spiritual lives, but also forms a stronger connection in the Body of Christ, which is the Church. Each teacher describes how his/her class can bolster your relationship with Jesus Christ and others. Everyone is encouraged to participate in a class.
Sunday School is a place where people and churches can be transformed:
- growing leaders for the church's mission
- increasing people's sense of belonging and commitment to stewardship
- providing a place for new people to make friends and learn to grow as disciples
- deepening people's understanding of God's activity in all of life

The Believers - Teacher: Katherine Kavanaugh
The Believers class is open to everyone, but its main purpose is to gather older adult couples in a setting of open discussion about life struggles in light of the Good News of God's Word. A secondary aim is to create a fellowship of believers for support and recreation. It meets in the multi-purpose room in the Children’s Center and is led by Katherine Kavanaugh.
