Your First Visit to FUMC Whitesboro

It's never easy to walk into a place you've never been to, and unfortunately, churches are not immune to this.

We work hard at FUMC to help you feel right at home.  So, in order to help you feel a little more comfortable before you even step foot in the door, we'd like to answer some basic questions that you might be thinking about.

Q: What do I wear? A: Ultimately, we want you to be comfortable, to be YOU.  On a Sunday morning with us, you could see everything from business suits or dresses to t-shirts and shorts.  There are no expectations to meet.  Back to the top

Q: When do I arrive? A: Our worship services at 8:15 and 10:30am are similar with blended music.  There is a coffee fellowship from 9:00 to 9:30am in Wesley Hall, that you may enjoy after the early service or before attending Sunday School for all ages at 9:30am.  Back to the top

Q: What about my Children? A:

Children are a blessing at FUMC!  We invite and encourage you to bring your children with you.  Sunday School is available for children pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in the Children's Education Wing. During Sunday School, your children will receive a fun lesson that focuses on biblical truths and includes music, movement, and more.  Children of all ages are also welcome to stay with their parents during worship services.  Childcare is available for children younger than three years of age. 
  During the 10:30am service children are invited to participate in Children's Time with one of our outstanding staff, where they will receive a kid-friendly message.  After this time; 3, 4 & 5 year olds are invited to attend Children’s Church where they learn about worship, songs and prayers.  They are taught by knowledgeable and loving staff.  The children are returned to their parents in the sanctuary before the end of the service. Older children have activities they can do with activity bags located just outside the sanctuary in the foyer connecting the sanctuary and Wesley Hall on the north side. Each bag is filled with puzzles, coloring pages, and objects for creative minds. For children 0-36 months, we have our quality nursery care.  We want you to feel comfortable entrusting your infants, crawlers, and toddlers to the care of our loving first aid and CPR certified nursery staff.  We are a certified "Safe Sanctuary” church.
