Welcome to our Family!
You are welcome at Fredericksburg United Methodist Church! For over 200 years we have been serving God in the heart of historic downtown Fredericksburg.
We have a long history, our Church having been used as a Union hospital during the Battle of Fredericksburg and was severely shelled during that battle. We are also a Church focused on the future, excited about what God continues to do in this place.
We are a large Church with some 2,000 members, one Saturday and three Sunday morning worship services. But we are also an intimate Church, where each person matters, and has an opportunity to use his or her God-given talents. We are a dynamic Church with activities and ministries going on seven days a week. We are a caring Church with outreach and nurturing ministries, including Stephen Ministry. But most of all we are a Christ-centered Church, openly seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit as we proclaim and live out the Good News of Jesus Christ.
You are invited into this web site to find a multitude of opportunities for children and youth ministries, music and praise, outreach and mission, Bible study and growth and much, much more. And all the more you are invited to come and experience the love of God in and through our Church family. Fredericksburg UMC truly is the Heart of Downtown.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Larry Lenow
FUMC ALPHA and Omega Concert
There are two exciting opportunities to “Go FISH” coming to Fredericksburg United Methodist Church!
ALPHA is coming to FUMC starting Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 6:30 PM!
“Alpha and Omega Concert” an evening with “Dumbstruck Blind and Friends” on Sunday, August 29th at 4:00 PM to benefit FUMC’s new ALPHA Course ministry.
What is ALPHA? Alpha is an opportunity to explore the meaning of life in a relaxed, friendly setting. The Alpha course meets once per week for 10 weeks, and includes an amazing one-day get-a-way. Each session, people enjoy great food, laughter and learning in a fun and friendly atmosphere where no question about life or God is seen as too simple or too hostile…questions like—Is there a God? Why am I here? Where did I come from? Where am I going? Free child care is available. ALPHA starts Thursday, September 9, 2010 at 6:30 PM! Invite your friends, family and co-workers (who have questions about the Christian faith) to attend the ALPHA course with you! Help them learn about the God who loves them!
What about the Alpha and Omega Concert? This worship concert will feature funky, acoustic pop music for the soul by FUMC’s very own Spike Burton and Mike Pipoly, aka. “Dumb Struck Blind.”. Childcare will be available, but kids are welcome and will love this concert! A free will offering will be taken to support ALPHA. Spread the word! Bring some friends! GO FISH! For more information or to register for Alpha, email Katina Anthony at fred.alpha@hotmail.com.

We are a Stephen Ministry Church
Specially
committed members of the congregation receive extensive training in
distinctively Christian care giving. Once they complete the training and
are commissioned, they provide confidential one-on-one care to others who are
struggling with challenges in their daily lives. If you feel you could use
a Stephen Minister or know someone who could, contact one of the Pastors or fill
out the card provided in the pews and place it in the box marked Stephen
Ministry located at the entrance to the Church Sanctuary.
