• A-Team: This class is lead by Paul Morgan. Typical studies are verse by verse scripture study, profiles of different prophets, apostles and other people in the Bible, or a book study. The A-team class is made up of mid-40s to mid-60s but welcome anyone to try out the class structure. The class meets in Room #14 behind the Sanctuary (see map below).

• Bethel: The current leaders of the class are Randall & Sherri Wilchman and Larry & Roxie Wertenberger. During this time they are leading hybrid sessions in the Room #17 off of the Fellowship Hall (see map below). They study a variety of subjects that are chosen by the class. They do have potlucks and fellowship outside of the church under normal circumstances. The Bethel class consists of mid-50s to mid-70s that grow together in Christ.

• Crusaders: The Crusaders Class is the longest continuing Sunday school Class of SUMC. It's loyal history began in the 1970's, to meet the need for a class for young adults and couples. The Class Coordinator is Barbara Kane, and it meets in Room #12 behind the Sanctuary . Topics for learning and discussion follow the current interests of the group. Monthly opportunities to meet outside of regular Sunday mornings have included field trips to restaurants, plays, cruises, weekend retreats, and various get-togethers in members' homes. The Crusaders have a high priority to support SUMC. Members volunteer as a group or individually at nearly every event or activity. The class regularly donates from their treasury to deserving ministries and always gives support to a needy family at Christmas. The mission of the Crusaders Class is to build up disciples, and send them out to bring others to Christ.

• Kaneraisers: They meet behind the sanctuary in room #12.

• Legacy Builders: This class is for adults raising children to be our next legacy. The group is lead by Aaron & Jenna Jones. Topics include Christian parenting, relationships, and more. This class currently meets in the Legacy Class (Room #6 on the map below) in the Children's wing and supports each other with the everyday struggles of raising a family. This class is typically couples or individuals that are raising children in their household.

• Joyful Noise Praise Team & Band: The Praise Team sings contemporary, gospel and traditional hymns. They are led by Laura cross. The Praise Team sings at the 8:45 blended service. They also perform outside the church at different churches and camp meetings across the state. They practice on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary.

• Sanctuary Strings & Brass: From time to time those that play brass or string instruments gather to play special instrumental pieces for services.
