We are a Reconciling congregation—All persons are recipients of God's love and grace; God intends the church to be a community which embodies love, grace and justice for all people as a sign of God's covenant. We, therefore, will continue to seek and welcome persons of any age, gender, race, ethnic background, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability as full participants in our community of faith.
We are a Stephen Ministry Congregation—Stephen Ministry is confidential, one-on-one caring by trained lay persons for those experiencing a serious life transition.
We are a Justice-Seeking Congregation—We work in covenant with the Methodist Federation for Social Action to be the inclusive, anti-racist/anti-oppressive, justice seeking, risk-taking Body of Christ.
We are a Peace with Justice Covenant Congregation—As followers in Jesus’ footsteps, we believe that a ministry of peace and justice is a way to witness to the whole gospel.
FUMC is involved in missions locally in Schenectady, nationally in many parts of the US, and internationally with special connections in Nicaragua.
We serve a community breakfast free of charge on Sunday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30 AM. The community breakfast does not take place the first Sunday of every month.
We have a long standing relationship with CEPAD in Nicaragua. (See our mission page).
We take the Bible seriously, but not literally.
We also have some ways to get involved musically. Check them out here!
A forward looking and caring community where ALL are Welcome!
