News
In response to the Executive Orders of Governor Kelly and the direction of the Great Plains Conference,
we have cancelled our on site worship services and events until further notice.
Our buildings will remain closed except for a few personnel that are vital to worship and our ongoing operations.
Small groups that are affiliated with FUMC will now be allowed limited use of the outdoor space at the West Campus.
Groups must be limited to 45 people or less and maintain the required distancing of 6 feet between people.

Highlight from the July 28th Task Force Update
Although we believe that it is still too early to open our indoor spaces, we are working with our pastors and staff to develop a plan for an outdoor worship experience at the West Campus. That plan should be ready for the Task Force’s consideration in a couple of weeks. Please know that we will continue the online worship even when we offer other options.
