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.

Christmas Greetings From Pastor Warren Waddell:
“And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)   May you all experience the fulfillment of God’s promised Messiah this Christmas.
Yours In Christ,
Pastor Warren

                     

FPUMC Missions of the Month - December

>>>  Support Our Military:  You have two different ways to honor our active military, and those in Veteran Centers :
1)   DVD’s 4 Vets:  Donate tasteful new or used DVD’s to our Vets through this program.  Their mission is to provide DVD’s to vets living in 1500 Veteran Hospitals and Homes in our country.  The program is not politically affiliated or receive financial assistance.  What a great win-win situation – you reap the benefit of donating your unwanted DVD’s, and our vets reap the benefits of a “new” movie!  Place your DVDs in the basket located in the Narthex.
2)   Write a letter to one of our active military personnel.  Watch and listen for more information to come on names and addresses.

• Soda 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.
