First United Methodist Church Schenectady

FUMC has activities for children and youth from infancy through high school.  The goal is to help children learn about, experience, and share Christian love and values.

Worship service – Children of ALL ages are welcome in our worship service.

Babyfold – Infants through preschoolers are welcome in the babyfold room during the worship service.  Here they can sleep and/ or begin to experience the church’s welcome through play or stories. 

Children – Sunday School is held for elementary children on Sunday mornings except the first Sun. of each month.  It is held in the Gathering Room from 9:00 – 9:45.  Stories, crafts, and other activities are included.  Every Sunday during the worship service there is a children’s time when children of all ages are offered a special message.

Youth – Activities are available for junior and senior high youth. Meetings are held weekly on Saturday at 11:30.  Our youth are very active in service projects.  They help regularly with a community brunch at Emmanuel/Friedens Church as well as the community breakfast at FUMC.  They have been part of Volunteers in Mission teams to help with storm recovery in NJ and in WV.

Music – All are welcome to participate in playing Orff instruments.  Practices are held after worship the first Sunday of each month.
