Faith Milestones
At Fairmount Avenue UMC we are intentional about the faith development of our young people. With a series of Faith Milestones, our kids learn about elements of worship, tradition, faith development.
2nd Graders : Communion
In September/early October, our 2nd graders learn about the sacrament of Communion. On World Communion Sunday, the 2nd graders are invited to help set the communion table for the congregation.
3rd Graders : Bible Presentation
The second Sunday of Sunday School in the fall, each of our 3rd graders is presented with their very own Bible during the worship service. Throughout this year, our students begin to learn the mechanics of Bible (e.g., What is a book/chapter/verse? How do I find..?)
4th Graders : Acolyte
Any interested 4th grader is invited to be an acolyte, joining the 5th and 6th grade acolytes. Those who want to participate attend a special class to learn about the importance of light during worship and what it means to help with worship.
8th Graders and Older – Confirmation
Our 8th graders have the opportunity to make a deliberate and intentional commitment to live as a member of the body of Christ through Confirmation. FAUMC celebrates with our 8th graders as they publicly affirm this commitment during worship.
12th Graders – Senior Launch
In the spring, our graduating seniors are recognized during worship. The congregation holds them in their hearts as the seniors venture forth into unknown, exciting futures! Seniors are also invited to the Parsonage for a special dinner with the Pastor to reflect on things they have learned, have fun, and prepare for the journey ahead.
