Outreach

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…}

The mission of the
United Methodist Men
is to assist men to know Jesus
Christ, to serve Him, to grow
spiritually and seek daily to do
his will. {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...}

Holy Boldness

Sunday Dinner

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}
