Upcoming Events
Chiller Challenge
Summer is a busy time at FUMC Pearland, particularly for our Children and Youth programming, not to mention many other ministry events. Having adequate cooling is vital to ensure that our participants and volunteers are comfortable with all the programs we offer in these two buildings. The chiller unit that cools these two buildings needs to be replaced, and will cost us approximately $300,000.00. The “Chiller Challenge” is a great opportunity for us to rally behind this purchase giving all of us an opportunity to participate at a level where we can not only make this happen, we can do so without taking on a substantial amount of debt, with everyone participating at a level where they are able to participate.
This challenge will take place for three months, May 15–August 15, with regular updates as to our status.
Children and Youth are also invited to join in the Chiller Challenge by donating any amount! You can do so through PearlandKIDS Sunday School or Sermon Session, or through PSM Sunday School or other meetings/events, or directly in the offering plate!
Join the Chiller Challenge by making your contribution today!

Middle School Mania
Attention all students who are entering the 5th, 6th, or 7th grade in August 2026! Middle School Mania 2026 is happening June 8-12!
Everything is the perfect word to describe whatever means the most in life. So, what if you could have everything you need for everything in life? Sound too good to be true? Well, it might not be that far off. According to Jesus, one thing matters more than anything else: love. So, what would it look like if love were everything in our lives? In the way we treat others, in the way we see God, and even in the way we view ourselves. When love is everything, we discover the kind of life God created us to live in the first place.
During the week, students will find practical ways to apply Jesus' greatest commandment to their everyday lives. As students learn how to love God, others, and their own lives they'll also discover that Jesus' words and example are everything they need for the life they really want!
