Local Outreach

Wondering how you can get involved in our local Vancouver/SW Washington community? We are working with FISH to collect pantry items. Keep an eye out for the blue bin in the lobby to add your non-perishables (no glass!). We also work with Washington Elementary both in providing food for those in need, and, in their "reading-buddy" program for 1st and 2nd graders.
Contact the office for more details: office@vanfumc.org 360-693-5881

For upcoming musical events with our community partners as well as music groups to join at the church, please check our music page.

Blessings to you!

We are so very glad you decided to stop by and check us out. We welcome and affirm all people, regardless of race, age, handicap, or sexual orientation.

While we do meet in person, we continue to offer other ways to join in Christian fellowship, including online worship every Sunday morning at 10 a.m. on our YouTube Channel, where previous worship services and devotionals, as well as special music, are archived. Stay up to date with news on this website, on Facebook, and in your email.

Come to our services and meet new faces!

Join Us Ash Wednesday at 6:30pm

We will be gathering for a short service for Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, at 6:30pm. During this time of reflection and the imposition of ashes, we will be enjoying Taize selections intertwining music, readings and prayer in an intimate, meditative setting.
This traditional service marks the beginning of the Lenten season. At the beginning of Lent, you may consider the spiritual discipline of “giving something up.” This sacrificial act is a reminder for us of the sacrificial love of God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

"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 you ever can."
