THE OLOGIES: A STUDY ON GOD STUFF

August 10–October 12, 2025

If you have ever wondered about God, the cosmos, or Christian thought, then join us this fall for a 10-week exploration of some of the basic ideas within our Christian tradition.

Each Sunday in worship, Senior Pastor Jason Adams and Modern Worship Pastor Reed McNitzky will guide opportunities to sing, pray, and learn about the big themes in our faith.

Each Wednesday at lunch, Jason and Reed will lead a companion course that unpacks Sunday's topic in more detail and offers a space for questions and dialogue.

FALL COURSES: NOW ENROLLING

August–November 2025

AHUMC is committed to offering a wide array of opportunities for education and encouragement. Most of our courses are available for free to anyone who is interested. Some courses do require the purchase of a book—but even that shouldn’t be an obstacle to participation as scholarship assistance is available. We hope you will consider joining at least one of the courses this fall.

SUNDAY SOUNDS: AHUMC MUSIC FOR CHILDREN

beginning August 17

Sunday Sounds is a music experience for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Our main goal is to encourage children as they learn to lead and participate in worship by sharing the gift of music.

Weekly rehearsals give children the opportunity to sing, move, and play while being introduced to various types of music and building lasting relationships.

NEW ZION YOUTH CHOIR

beginning August 17

New Zion Youth Choir is a dedicated group of teenagers (grades 6—12) who frequently lead in Sunday morning worship between August and May.

Outside of rehearsals and worship, this group gathers for Fun Nights and has a retreat and summer mission trip each year.

ARTS FOR ALL

beginning August 20

We dream that every person can be an artist. To live into this dream and serve more families in our community, the AHUMC Music Department offers Arts for All. This free program provides high-quality arts education in an encouraging and structured environment to children in grades 3—7.

We are accepting applications for the 2025—2026 school year now.

MEMBERSHIP SUNDAY

August 24, 2025

We're excited to announce our next Membership Sunday, happening on Auguest 24!

Whether you've visited AHUMC once or have attended multiple Sundays or events, we'd like to extend an offer of membership. Across every worship service on this special day, AHUMC Pastors will invite all guests to make a commitment and officially join our congregation.

FISHING UNDER THE BRIDGE

August 24, 2025

Once a month, every 4th Sunday, volunteers work at the Haven for Hope in the kitchen. 

This ministry needs people to help with cooking, serving the meal, and clean-up after the meal. This is an outreach ministry that gives volunteers in our church and the community a chance to serve those who are experiencing houselessness.

Please sign up within the first two weeks of the month.

MOSES

beginning September 2

Join pastor Donna Strieb as we explore the sites of Moses' story.  Using Adam Hamilton's book, we will utilize historical information, archaeological data, and biblical text to follow in the footsteps of this reluctant prophet who grew in his relationship with God.

MEN'S MINISTRY

beginning September 2

This group was formed to offer men a regular opportunity for Bible study and fellowship. Each semester we choose a different book to study and discuss together.

FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY

beginning September 3

If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t get in control of your money, you’re not alone. You might even be surprised by how many people are struggling just like you.

Take control of your money with Financial Peace University. This nine-week study uses biblical wisdom and common sense to help you tackle budgeting, pay off debt, and make your money work for you!

TAIZÉ WORSHIP RESUMES

September 3, 2025

Please join us in the Garden Chapel at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month for a meditative prayer service that features singing, scripture, and silence in the Taizé style of worship.

BUNK BED BUILD

September 6, 2025

There is a significant need for beds that children can use here in San Antonio. Because even in our city, many kids don't have a bed to call their own. The beds built during this volunteer session will be given to children who currently sleep on the floor.

Will you help us provide a comfortable place for these children to rest at night? We need at least 50 volunteers but we know our community can exceed that amount!

Register now.

COMMON SPACE: two sessions available

beginning September 7

Join us at either 9:30 or 11 a.m. for a weekly dialogue and exploration of the biblical stories—both the ones you know and love and the ones that seem to confound and confuse. This is not a lecture or a book study.  There is no homework or assigned reading.  Through active and participatory conversation, we will get to know each other and learn together as we wrestle with the questions that exist on the tips of our tongues and in the depths of our hearts.

LUNCH WITH THE STAFF

September 7, 2025

Whether you are a new member, interested in joining the church, or just want to find out more about our community, we hope that you will join the AHUMC staff for lunch and a time of introduction.

Our pastors and directors lead this dialogue about AHUMC and its ministries. Children’s lunches will be available, and childcare is available by request.

WOMEN'S MINISTRY

beginning September 9

This group was formed to offer women an opportunity for Bible study and community in an informal setting. Each semester we choose a different book to study and discuss together.

COMMUNITY YOGA

beginning September 10

Whether you have practiced Yoga for years or are looking to try something new, join us for this free weekly hour with Yoga Alliance-licensed instructor, Dave Williams.

We will meet for 7 weeks in the CLC at AHUMC. The space is carpeted so please feel free to bring your own mat or towel and a water bottle.

THURSDAY LUNCH BUNCH RESUMES

September 11, 2025

Thursday Lunch Bunch—one of the oldest offerings at AHUMC—will resume weekly meetings on Thursday, September 11 at 11:30 a.m. We are a self-sustaining outreach ministry of volunteers dedicated hosting a weekly community meal. We celebrate birthdays, sing songs, and pray before we break bread together. All are welcome!

3RD GRADE BIBLES

September 28, 2025

It's that time again! Every year, our 3rd graders receive their Bibles from the AHUMC Kids. It might seem like a little thing, but it means so much to the children. In fact, Pastor Jason still has the Bible that he received in 3rd grade!

SEASON'S GREETINGS

beginning October 26

Join pastor Janet Weatherston for this journey of rediscovery as we explore the beloved Christmas story through the words of those who were there. From King Herod to the Magi, the Innkeeper, the midwife—and even Jesus himself—hear the dramatic stories of the Bible characters forever changed by the birth that took place so long ago.
