What’s Your Worship + One?

If you’ve been worshiping with us for a while and want to find out how to get connected at FUMCFW, we invite you to find your Worship + One.

What is Worship + One? In addition to attending worship, it simply means find a “plus one” — a group, a study, or a place to serve that connects with you so you can connect with others, build relationships, and experience the power and purpose in leading a Christ-centered life.

For details, please email Lisa Helm (lhelm@myfumc.org), Director of Welcoming Ministries or Dr. Mike Marshall (mmarshall@myfumc.org), Associate Pastor of Leadership Development — and be sure to include your phone number in your email!
