Gold Award for disability access awarded to FCUMC

The Pacific Northwest Conference Disability Ministries Committee awarded a gold
badge to Fairwood Community UMC based on the accessibility audit for United
Methodist Churches and a site review. This badge is a sign that our congregation
has gone beyond the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and strives to provide
accessible space and appropriate accommodations to disabled people through
intentional measures and ministries. It is a recognition that continued improvement
is possible and that such purposeful actions are being planned based on the gifts,
needs, and context of our members and community.
We are living into our commitment to actively become anti-ableist as wed strive to
become evermore inclusive. Contact Don M. or John M. with suggestions of
improvements.
Thank you to our Trustees, current and previous, who lead the projects to make
our facilities disability friendly!

the choir room (11:15-11:50).
All 5th – 12th grade youth are invited to join us each Sunday! It’s a new school
year so it’s a great time to try something new even if you have never sung with us.

contemporary Christian music.
