Stewardship Sunday

November 23, 2025

In November, Pastors Adam and Val reflect on what makes FUMC more than just a church, but a family - where every seat feels like home. This series transitions us into Stewardship season so that we can remember why we give and how our stewardship is an integral part of our faith.
