Get in the Know!

By September 26, 2019

If you haven’t yet “opted-in” to receive emergency alerts from our FUMCFW Security Team led by Ron Hicks, Director of Security, please take a few moments to set up this important emergency messaging on your phone.

“This system allows quick notification to all who have “opted-in” to be notified of any emergency situation on the church campus or that has affected the church campus,” Ron explains. “We are fortunate to have this system now in place for any emergency needs which may arise, but for it to work well to keep our church members in the know, we need for everyone must “opt-in.”

To make sure you’re “opted-in,” please follow the instructions below — or feel free stop by the Welcome Center before or after Sunday services. We’d be delighted to help make sure you’re all set to receive future FUMCFW emergency notifications.

  1. Open your text messages
  2. Put 888777 in the “to” field
  3. Type FUMCFWALERTS (all caps, one word) in the message field
  4. Press “send”

You will receive a confirmation message in reply:
“FUMCFWALERTS: Thanks for signing up! You will only receive an alert from FUMCFW in the event of an emergency involving the church.”

That’s it! You’re in the FUMCFW Emergency Alerts System. If you have questions or need help, please stop by the Welcome Center for assistance or email Sandy Williams, Director of Operations (swilliams@myfumc.org).
