About Us

Creating, Transforming, Serving

Fremont United Methodist Church is a Lighthouse Congregation of The North Carolina Conference of The United Methodist Church, in partnership with The United Methodist Collective and the Office of New Faith Communities.

We are a United Methodist congregation. As United Methodists, we are called to, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” (Matthew 28:19)

We strive to create a space for the vibrant transformation of humble souls to serve Christ.

As we have each been created by God to be individuals, we recognize we do not agree with each other on every topic, but we love each other anyway and covenant to walk with each other on our Christian journey as a supportive church family.

Weekly Worship Format

First Sunday of the Month

We find connection to God through a classic style of worship, as we celebrate at traditional service of Word and Table. Our traditional service features a liturgical approach to worship and beautiful anthems by our chancel choir.

Second, Third & Fourth Sundays of the Month

The second and third Sundays of the month offer an inviting experience. We engage the rich tradition of the church blended with our favorite hymns and early-contemporary praise music. The choir presents a musical offering each week.

Fifth Sunday of the Month

Rev. Van Staalduinen invites creative worship on the fifth Sunday of the month. We may have a hymn sing, Scripture & Song Sunday, or whatever the Spirit leads.

Come Join Us!

Communion at Fremont UMC

We partake of communion on the first Sunday of each month. Children ages four years and over are invited to worship with their families on Communion Sundays. We celebrate an open table. ALL who wish to be in relationship with Jesus Christ are welcome at our table, including children and non-members. We participate in communion through the method of intinction. As you come forward, you are asked to do so with your hands together and open to indicate you are willing to receive the grace given so freely to us by God. A piece of bread (representing the body) will be placed in your hands. You will then step to the cup (representing the blood) and dip the bread into the cup and consume. Our cup contains grape juice, not wine. The founder of Methodism, John Wesley, chose to use juice in an effort not to tempt anyone who may have an issue with alcohol.
