    • Fall Bible Study – “Revival”

      Tuesdays, October 13 – November 17

      7:00 PM – 8:15 PM

      John Wesley’s message and his faith continue to speak to 21st-century Christians – calling for a revival of our hearts and souls so that our world might be changed. 

      Join us Tuesday evenings this Fall at Fairhaven UMC for Adam Hamilton’s study “Revival”, following the life of John Wesley and exploring the defining characteristics of a Wesleyan Christian. 

      Wesley’s story is our story.  It defines our faith and it challenges us to rediscover our spiritual passion. 

      We hope you’ll join us as we seek to apply the principles of John Wesley’s revival to our own lives and churches. 

      Please contact Pastor Matt for more details at 412-532-6167 or email at [email protected].
