Children
Welcome! Our goal is to help our children become true disciples of Jesus Christ by: building relationships with them, Being examples for them and teaching them God’s Word.
At Fredericksburg United Methodist Church we strive to do that by offering a variety of activities to get children excited about Christ! If you have any questions about our children’s programs, please call our Director of Children’s Ministry, Jillian Murray. Also, follow FUMC Children's Ministry on Facebook for up-to-date information on all things kids-related. Come join the fun as we learn and praise Jesus!

SEASONAL EVENTS & PROGRAMS
Each year we have a program called Advent Adventure. A joyful and festive time of Christmas crafts and activities for kids and their families. In 2020 we enjoyed a modified at-home program with videos and take-home crafts!
Upwards Basketball - Winter
Fredericksburg UMC offers Upward Basketball for girls and boys in grades K-6th grade. Enjoy a great team experience and play ball with your friends in a supportive, Christian environment. It is not only a sports program but a Christian model for sports. We are so thankful for all the families that have signed up and the many others that volunteer their time to make this program special.
Covid-19 update - Unfortunately, we determined that we could not offer a 2021 season. We are saddened by this but hope you will return next year!
