Social Justice and Compassion Ministries
FAUMC has rich history of involvement in ministries of social justice and compassion. These ministries are guided through the work of Committee on Social Justice and Compassion, as well as through many other groups and individuals within the congregation including the United Methodist Women and youth & children‘s programs.
Mission
