We believe that each individual is of sacred worth. Therefore, we pledge ourselves to engage in the sacred hospitality and responsibility Christ taught. We commit ourselves to maintaining a place of safety and sanctuary for all who come together in ministry and mission: people of all races, cultures, ages, sexual orientations, family structures, economic situations, and mental or physical conditions. Through the grace of Christ we dedicate ourselves to live out these commitments creatively, humbly and with hope.

Welcome to Fair Oaks UMC!
Our Ministries with Children
Children of any age are welcomed in worship. Early in the service, our Pastor offers a "children's message" - time just for the kids. Then children from preschool through 6th grade are welcomed to attend Sunday school.
Our curriculum is "Exploring Faith." Children experience the stories and messages of the Bible appropriate to their age with discussion and activities. Our Sunday school seeks to help our children develop a deep and life-giving relationship wth God.
We have two Sunday school classes - one for preschool through 2nd graders, and one for 3rd through 6th graders. For babies, infants, and toddlers we offer safe and loving care in our nursery, beginning in time for our adult Sunday school classes, and lasting until children are picked up after worship.
Kids who prefer to remain in worship with their parents are always welcome to stay!
