The Waymakers

We are thrilled to offer our newest Sunday School Class at Strawbridge UMC - The Waymakers - that furthers our commitment to be inclusive and accepting of everyone! This class will "make ways" to be a flexible and fun learning environment for people of all abilities and neurodiversity to be able to focus on learning more about God, making new friends, and assisting with some of the missions of the church.

The age range of this class is 11 years old through recent high school graduates. You can find The Waymakers in Room 101 during the Sunday School hour (10:00 - 11:00 am).

Please contact our class leader, Christine Biddle, for any further information.
