Fairport United Methodist Church

Our Children's Ministry exists to
help families to live out a
commitment to worship, service
and living in daily life. We
believe all three are necessary in
everyone's spiritual journey and
want to plant this seed early in
our Children's Ministry {more…}

Through the year we plan fun
events for the Jr. and Sr.
High Groups. These are great
meetings to invite friends to
join. If they wish to then
become further involved they
can join us for our learning,
service and worship
opportunities. {more…}

In addition to a great variety of
United Methodist mission
efforts locally and around the
world through its
apportionment payments, the
Fairport United Methodist
Church supports specific
outreach projects by gifts
and/or volunteer time. {more…}

United Methodist Women
shall be a community of women
whose purpose is to know God and
to experience freedom as whole
persons through Jesus Christ; to
develop a creative supportive
fellowship; and to expand concepts
of mission through participation in
the global ministries of the church.

As a suburban congregation with a
heart for our urban neighbors, we
began an experiment by having a
team attend urban ministry training
through the Upstate Urban Academy
of the UMC. We did not know, and
do not yet know, where this may
lead. For sure, we are claiming our
call to be holy and bold in our
ministry, within and beyond the
walls of the church building. For
sure, we are exploring what our
congregational identity is, and hope
that process will lead to discerning
what God's dream for our church
might be.
For sure, we are developing
relationships with our immediate
community, fully entrenched
physically in a suburban village as
we are, but we are also growing in
compassion and dreams of justice
for those in the city who need our
presence, our prayers, our gifts, our
service, our voice. {more...}

Sunday Dinner is a free, Sunday
afternoon community dinner
program designed to help those
who are in need of a warm meal, or
just a warm smile and some
fellowship on a Sunday afternoon.
Our original intent was to reach
those who were homeless and/or
seriously in need of a warm,
well-balanced dinner. However,
being in the Rochester suburbs we
have less homeless, and more
elderly. So, our guests tend to run
about 80% elderly, who are
probably there more for the
fellowship than from a need for
food, and 20% people who are in
low-income or jobless, subsidized
housing, situations who do need a
good meal. {more}
