What is there for kids?
Fountain Kids (Birth – 5th Grade)
Fountain Kids provides a loving, caring and safe environment for children to learn and grow in their faith. Birth – 5th grade students and their families are provided with tools to enhance faith experiences at home as well as at church. Fountain City United Methodist Church, through Fountain Kids, strives to partner with parents through the most important phases of a child’s life.
Groups for Youth (Grades 6-12)
The Youth Ministry of FCUMC exists to REACH out to all youth with the saving grace of Jesus, helping them GROW into mature followers of Jesus in order to SERVE God and others with their lives. In pursuit of this goal, we engage in weekly youth group, small groups, retreats, and mission trips. Wherever youth are in their personal journey with Christ, we are here to help middle school and high school students take the next step in following Jesus.
Sunday School
At Fountain City UMC, when it comes to Sunday School classes, we have something for everyone in the family: Infant and Toddlers, Elementary Age Children, Youth (Grades 6-12), Young Adults, and Adults of All Ages. Each class offers an opportunity to strengthen your faith through fellowship and dialogue with other Christians.
