Serving God’s people, both here in our own community and beyond, is at the heart of FUMC. Our service programs contribute to solving local issues and global challenges. Join us in making a difference.
Food Security and Community Care

FUMC supports several organizations working to overcome food insecurity and support local families in their struggles. We work with Lafayette Urban Ministry, Food Finders Food Bank and Family Promise of Greater Lafayette.
Our programs also address community needs. The Klondike Afterschool program is a safe and nurturing afterschool club.
Campus Connection

FUMC is committed to serving the Purdue community. We provide special programing for new students and international scholars. FUMC is a foundational partner to the Wesley Foundation at Purdue. With 60,000 students on campus, the Wesley foundation provides a spiritual home for students from across the United States and all over the world.
Social Justice

FUMC is a Reconciling Congregation committed to welcoming people regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, bank balance, or background. Our service programs seek to support diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Each October, we host We’re Out, our annual LGBTQ+ pride event. This celebration brings the community together with local resources, food, games, music, and meaningful opportunities for connection and fellowship.
Klondike Kids Club

Klondike Kids Club is a safe and nurturing after school homework club. This is collaboration between First United Methodist Church of West Lafayette, Klondike Elementary School and Point West Mobile Home Community. Participating volunteers provide tutoring in reading, language arts, and math for children for whom English is a second language.
Global Missions

FUMC supports global missions. Our international programs support people in Haiti, Africa, and around the world.
