ABOUT FUMC GEORGETOWN
FUMC Georgetown can be a busy place! We recommend arriving 15 minutes early. That will give you plenty of time to park, get any kiddos signed into the nursery or Sunday School, as well as grab a cup of coffee, donut, or breakfast taco! Our 8:30 crowd is a little sleepier, arriving 5-10 minutes early will give you plenty of time.
You’ll see everything, from more dressy in the Traditional services to more casual at our Contemporary service.
Yes of course! Children are always welcome to attend worship! During worship, children are invited to gather in the front of the church to participate in a Children’s Moment. We also offer a traditional worship experience, designed for children, age 5yrs through 3rd grade. In the 10:45 service, Children’s Ministry staff will lead children to Room 1003 in the McKinney Christian Ministry Center (MCMC), following the children’s moment. They can be picked up at the end of service. For families who attend the 11:10 AM Sanctuary service, children should be dropped off in Room 1003 in the MCMC at 11:05 AM. These children will be walked to the Sanctuary by Ministry staff to join their parents for the end of worship. Please note: Children’s Church does not meet on the first Sunday of each month so that children may take communion with their families.
We offer an engaging and inspiring Sunday School designed specifically for our incoming 7th-12th graders! This class combines fun activities with meaningful lessons tailored to their age group, fostering spiritual growth and community connections. Every Sunday, from 9:40 to 10:40, come discover a welcoming space where young minds can explore faith in a way that's both relevant and enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you there!
9:40-10:40 AM in the Student Ministry area, 2nd floor of the ALC.
Room 220 upstairs in the Atkin Learning Center building
FUMC has a diverse variety of Adult Sunday School classes ranging from discussions, to book studies, to lecture style classes. Most classes meet from 9:45 - 10:40 AM, between our Traditional and Contemporary classes.
We also have a new ministry starting at FUMC that will create a space for 'Youngish' adults (both with and without children) to come together and grow in their relationships. Our hope is that this ministry will help its members create lifelong connections that will follow them through all of the stages of life.
For more Information and how to join either Adult SS and our Youngish Ministry, see Get ConnectedThe FUMC Georgetown campus is large and sometimes difficult to navigate. This historic church has undergone many construction projects throughout its almost 125-year history. Therefore, sometimes it can be difficult to find classrooms, offices, and even restrooms. If you are on our campus, please do not hesitate to ask for directions!
There are three parking lots around the FUMC Georgetown campus with many parking spaces for those with limited mobility as well as parking spaces for guests. A covered drive is also available at the back of the main building to safely drop off those in your family with limited mobility.
Off-campus parking is available each Sunday in two locations: the parking lot on the corner of Myrtle Street and University Avenue (behind Tony and Luigi's restaurant), and the parking lot behind the GISD Administration building (across University Avenue from FUMC Campus).
OUR BELIEFS
We embrace the belief that every person is a beloved child of God. Following Christ's teachings, we strive to embody love, grace, and mercy in our community. As United Methodists, we believe Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. We also hold Scripture to be a guiding source of understanding in our faith. While our belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is essential, we are open to a variety of perspectives beyond this core belief. We do not all think alike or interpret the Bible in identical ways, which is to be celebrated.
We focus on three key ministry areas to guide our goals and resource allocation.
Children & Students
We have reimagined our approach to teaching by intentionally creating space for children and students to draw conclusions and arrive at new understandings. This means we do not provide set answers but offer context and guidance to help the teachings of scripture become more real in each child or student’s own life. Our focus is to help each child and student build a foundation in faith that will continue to be developed throughout their lives. We support our families with resources and opportunities to share this journey with their children and students, including at-home activities, with suggested guidelines and materials.
Adults
At FUMC, we celebrate our community as a dynamic place for all adults. We value the unique experiences and insights that each person brings, actively seeking ways to harness their talents and creativity across our ministries. We recognize the challenges that come with different life stages and are committed to offering a variety of programs and support for everyone, fostering a vibrant and inclusive environment for all.
Missions & Outreach
We have long been a community leader and partner in helping to alleviate the needs of those in crisis and living at the margins of society. Our outreach efforts mirror our other focus areas in that we have a multi-faceted initiative geared towards assisting children and students in reaching their academic potential. This initiative involves several GISD campuses and works with partnerships to address obstacles, build relationships, and support the overall growth of children and students. We also provide financial support and volunteer resources for non-profits who support senior adults, such as Meals on Wheels, Faith in Action, the Wesleyan Homes, and other valued partners.
