Justice and Compassion Ministries
“Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can.” - attributed to John Wesley.
Fairmount Avenue United Methodist Church is passionate about seeing wholeness and healing in the world for all people and all creation. Through justice and compassion ministries, as a community we advocate for the needs of the marginalized, oppressed, and care for creation by connecting with a variety of organizations and ministries and learning opportunities. It is both an expression of faith and building of faith.
As we look to the teachings and work of Jesus, we see that Jesus was most often found with the marginalized and oppressed. Through Jesus' teachings we are challenged to seek wholeness and inclusion for all people. Through Jesus' actions we are inspired to seek physical and spiritual healing for all people. It is our faith in Jesus that calls us deeper into this work, seeking the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Jesus answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” - Luke 10:27
Currently we are focusing on addressing issues relating to homelessness, food insecurity, creation care, and advocating for full inclusion of persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. We also have a long standing relationship with St. Albans Church of God in Christ, worshipping and partnering in ministry as a way to practice and promote unity in the church.
We do this work through a variety of ways including political advocacy, hands on involvement, raising awareness through education, and a variety of donations/fund drives.
Whether you are new to the church or been a part of the FAUMC community for decades, there is a place for you.
