Each year, we celebrate this special milestone by placing God’s Word in their hands, reminding them that Scripture is a lifelong guide for faith, hope, and growth. This tradition reflects our commitment as a church family to nurture the next generation in their journey with Christ, encouraging them to read, learn, and live by God’s Word.

Church in Action Sunday
At FUMC Pearland, we know following Jesus, Building Real Relationships, Growing in Real Discipleship, and Experiencing Real Transformation isn't just something we say and tell others. Instead, we strive to take Action.
On Sunday, Sept 28th, we will gather together for worship, 9:00 am in the Family Life Center, and then break out into project teams to experience real Action with the goal of building real relationships with those we serve and serve alongside. As we take time to actively engage God's people through projects that pour into their lives, we are taking part in something bigger than ourselves. We are sending ripples out that can change lives and allow someone to feel the love of God.
I hope that you will join us on this amazing Sunday and show the love of Christ to those around you.

Middle School Mania
ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS ENTERING 5th, 6th, or 7th grades in August 2025! Middle School Mania will be June 23-27 from 9 am-noon each day. We will have worship, lessons, mission opportunities, and much more, all with the backdrop of understanding how our faith can be a catalyst.
Sometimes, the idea of "faith" can feel a little mysterious and hard to grasp. After all, what is it? And how do you get it—or get more of it? Well, just like science can explain so many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things in the world around us, there are answers for many of the mysterious and hard-to-grasp things about faith, too. You'll learn in science class that "catalysts" are interactions that create big changes and transformations. In the same way, Scripture shows us that certain change-making "catalysts" are necessary for the transformation of our faith and the faith of others.
During this week, we'll discover that faith is a catalyst for action, the faith of others can be a catalyst on our journey, Jesus is the catalyst for a new relationship with God, and we can be a catalyst for change.
