"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Proverbs 27:17
Groups are an incredibly important part of the culture at Medina UMC. Here at the church, we do not believe that groups are just helpful, important, beneficial, and great for you; we believe groups are essential to your faith life! Jesus even modeled for us having a group to share with and support one another. Below we have a list of the many groups offered at MUMC that you can join! If you need help finding a group or want to know any information, feel free to fill out the form below and we'll be in touch to help you out!
