The Living and Giving Class is located on the second floor of the church in room #201. Our teacher is Dr. T.Coe Branch. Our class believes deeply in prayer and frequently do a laying on of hands and prayer for our members who have serious health problems. 

                Our members range from 35 to 70 years old and all take a very active approach to outreach supporting F.I.S.H., Meals on Wheels, Happy Feet, The Crisis Center, Dress a Live Doll and the Methodist Children’s Home. 

                We have a yearly Christmas party at one of the members homes and get together at least two more times during the year. 

                If Living and Giving sounds like a class you would like to visit we would love to see you this Sunday.

The Wesley Sunday School Classroom is located on the first floor of FUMC on the east end near the end of the hallway. We use the Adult Bibly Study curriculum.  Our class consist of members 65 years and up.  We have a teacher, Bill LaFont and an assistant, Paul Lyle.  We give to various organizations such as F.I.S.H.,  Salvation Army,

Meals on Wheels, and Dress A Live Doll at Christmas.

                We serve at the Family Fellowship Night here at the church for one month out of the year and enjoy a wonderful Christmas Luncheon in December.  

If this sounds like a Sunday School Class for you we would love for you to join us any Sunday morning at 9:15 a.m.

The Genesis Sunday school class at FUMC Plainview has approximately 55 members ranging in age from 40 to 55. We are a diverse group in many ways.

Diverse in Family structure, some have kids as young a one year old and some have kids that are grown and out of the nest.

Professionally diverse; we have many professions represented, 20 members are involved in education, 9 in agriculture, 4 from banking, 2 accountants, 2 insurance agents, 2 construction and 13 other professions.

Diverse in our style of worship, about half the class attends the contemporary early worship service and about half attend the late worship service that is more traditional.

Diverse in leadership, our teacher is Dr. Charles Starnes, a retired submarine commander and economics professor at Wayland Baptist University. Charles is 60 years old, married to Susie and has four grown children seeking there way in the world. The class president is T. Leslie Gattis a 40 year old local business man married to Lori and has two children ages 2 and 5. Leslie and Lori are life long resident of Plainview both graduating from Plainview High School in 1987. Many members of our class have leadership roles in the church such as Board of Trustees, Board of Stewards, Outreach, PPRC, and you name it somebody in our class is probably on it.

Diverse lessons, currently we are using the book Doing Business by the Good Book by David L. Steward. In the past we used the book Being Methodist in the Bible Belt by F. Belton Joyner, and The 40 days of Purpose by Rick Warren. And the Faith Connection Adult Bible study Guide is always resource for the class.

Diverse activity, we like to get together outside of church too! Every spring we have a shrimp boil party that always provides great entertainment and memories. Every Christmas we load up our families in the church bus and go around town singing Christmas Carols to some of the elderly members of the church, followed up with dinner at a local restaurant. In 2008 we took the church bus and about 20 family members to Lubbock to see the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. Wow that was some Christmas Music!! And occasionally we like to go out to eat after church. You never know when we might just throw together a party.

The only thing missing from the Genesis class is you!
