Supporting Families, Making Disciples, Transforming the World

 

At FWBFUMC the family is always important to us. Our goal is to support our families in making disciples who will transform the world for Christ. Our different age level ministries work together to offer congruent programming and resources to help parents/guardians with the spiritual growth and development of their children. Our family ministry model offers age organized programs and events. Although, the ministries of the church are structured to draw generations together, equipping parents, championing their role as the primary disciple makers within their households so that their households become a way of witnessing to others inside and outside the faith community.

Faith@Home Sundays

Faith@Home is a gathering of parents/guardians with children of all ages that come together to be encouraged through video, testimony and conversation. We believe that when you combine the home and the church together to make disciples, great things can happen.

Together, we will be addressing such topics as: The importance of Faith at home, Marriage, and the importance of Relationships. Each time we meet, your family is invited to join us for a meal in the fellowship hall beginning at 5:00 p.m. Grades 6th-12th will head upstairs for youth and the children will be with Mrs. Cathy.
