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!

Upwards Basketball 2023 

We are super excited to be starting a new season (2023) of  Upward Basketball in January!

if you missed registration for the 2023 season, we hope you'll join us next year - watch for registration to open in October of 2023.

Our program is for K5 - 8th and all teams are co-ed. 
Each team will practice for an hour during the week and play a game on Saturday.  
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. 

Whether you have a child playing in the league or not, we would LOVE your help with the program.  
We are so thankful for all the families that have participated in the past and the many others that volunteer their time to make this program special.  
There are so many ways to help from planning the end-of-season party to coaching/refereeing.
