Adult Study Groups @ South Shore
Life is best lived in community. Small groups are an opportunity to gather and guide one another through all the intersections of faith and the real world.
At South Shore UMC we provide a small group experience for every age, and have as a goal that everyone connected to our congregation be growing in a small group experience.
