Roots of Faith began ten years ago as a ministry of Faith UMC. Through a process of discernment and prayer, and lots of hard work by our staff and volunteers, Roots of Faith is now on track to become its own non-profit corporation within the next few months. As we continue to move through that transition, Faith UMC remains committed to participating alongside Roots of Faith in the life-giving ministry happening. We also look forward to this new day and the blossoming of a dream. God is good!
Make plans to join us every Sunday in October for our message series, considering how we grow in worship, service, generosity, and community. On October 20th, we’ll celebrate the 30th anniversary of the revitalization and renaming of Faith UMC with churchwide worship at 10:30am at Faith. A potluck dinner will follow. We hope you’ll join us, as we grow together!
A special worship service as we celebrate communion alongside Christians around the world and begin a worship series celebrating 30 Years in Faith.
United Methodists collect a special offering is on World Communion Sunday to support scholarships and leadership development opportunities for international students and U.S. racial-ethnic students. The offering continues a legacy of educating students in a wide variety of careers that change lives. Last year, United Methodists’ generosity raised $443,000, enabling undergraduate and graduate studies for those who could not afford an education, helping to shape the future leaders of the United Methodist Church.
Kids, teens, and adults of all ages are invited to make music together in a new intergenerational handbell choir. Handbell choir is a low time commitment, with a big opportunity to connect with Faith folks of all ages while making music together. We hope to share music in worship during Advent.
