ADULT MINISTRY
Our church offers a vibrant and diverse range of opportunities for faith formation and fellowship. Most adults are plugged into Sunday School classes with others who share their interests and passion to serve, and who are journeying through a similar life stage. Many enjoy the short-term studies facilitated by our pastors throughout the year, which typically meet during weekdays or weeknights, and provide meaningful spaces to exercise your mind and nurture your spirit. Others look forward to events where we gather outside the walls of the church or plan outings to experience the love of God in new places and in new ways. Subscribe to our weekly newsletter where you can always find the most up to date information about events and studies happening in the life of our church.
MEET MADISON BOBOLTZ
Director of Adult Ministries
Madison Boboltz has served as an Associate Pastor of First UMC Arlington since 2023. She studied Religion and Psychology at Hardin-Simmons University, received her MDiv from Boston University School of Theology, and was ordained as an elder in full connection in the Horizon Texas Conference in 2025. Here at first UMC Arlington, Pastor Madison oversees the areas of Adult Discipleship and Congregational Care. She believes that how we worship, serve, and care for one another ultimately begins with what we believe about God, ourselves, and the role of faith in our lives. She is passionate about equipping people of all ages with the skills and imagination to join God’s redeeming work in the world. For her, church is not a place where we come together to “escape” the difficulties of life, but where we gather in hope to address them head on and discern how God is calling us to respond in love. When she is not leading Bible Study or Grief Group, making hospital visits, building relationships with young adults at the UTA Wesley, or creating content for the HTC TikTok account, you can find Pastor Madison spending time with friends and family or obsessing over her latest hyperfixation hobby, whether that be reading, knitting, or baking sourdough.
