Welcome to the website of Fountain Park United Methodist Church:

We pray that your time spent here will enrich your walk with the Lord.  We are ordinary people who hunger for more of God, a church family that cares for one another, disciples of Jesus who share His love of others, and a church where you can serve and grow.  We worship and serve God from a heart of love, faithfully proclaiming Christ in word and deed.

FPUMC Missions of the Month - March   (Three Missions)

>>>  1) Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, 2) Haiti, 3) David & Jennifer Bell, CSI Ministries in Kenya. March is a busy month focusing on three separate missions.  Chaplin Rick Cawthon is our scheduled guest speaker on Sunday, March 9th, who will provide a mission moment on the Jail & Prison Ministry.  On March 23rd, Lorri Brown will give a mission moment on Haiti.  For CSI Ministries-Kenya we will be playing an informational DVD provided by the Bells in the Narthex before each service in March.  All three of these missions are deeply rooted in Scripture.  While watching the DVD, enjoy some leisurely conversation with your church family while enjoying coffee, juice & snacks from our Hospitality Table.

  • Youth Dinner & Dessert Auction:  FPUMC Youth will be hosting their popular annual dinner and dessert auction on Saturday, March 29th @ 6:00pm in Felowship Hall.  Ticket sales begin March 1st for $5.00.  All donations received will be used for the youth mission trip to Dinwiddie, VA, in July.  If you love fantastic desserts of all types, bring your appetite and make your bids.
  • FPUMC Rummage Sale:  Saturday, May 3rd.  Includes Brat Fry, Bake Sale, and Youth Soup Sale.  Rummage donations can be dropped off in the Youth Room.  The following items will NOT be accepted: electronics more than 5 years old, items containing Freon, tin containers from cookies and popcorn.
  • Soda CanSoda Pop Sunday:  By simply donating the price of a can of soda will help save the life of a rescued infant at CSI Ministries-Kenya!!  These infants are often found abandoned along the road or in the trash.  So we are joining forces with other churches to support Dave & Jennifer Bell’s rescue mission in Kenya.  The last Sunday of every month will be designated as “Soda Pop Sunday”.  Funds collected will help buy needed items such as medicine, diapers, and infant food.  What a wonderful way to care for “the least of these” until they are adopted by a Christian family.  For more info about CSI Ministries, see the Mission Page.
  • Shopping CartOperation Shopping Cart:  So what’s up with the shopping cart in the Gathering Area?  The Missions Committee has streamlined donation requests for canned & boxed food items and paper products.  This will be a year round endeavor.  All collected items will go to, 1) food pantries at Campus Life, Safe Harbor, Salvation Army, and Sheboygan County Food Pantry on a rotation basis, 2) out youth group can use any needed items for any of their missions, 3) and for other committees that reach out to our neighborhood.  A printed list of acceptable items is on the shopping cart.  No glass products.
