Children’s Chime Choir

Led by the Bell Choir director, the children’s chime choir is our youngest musical group, consisting of children from the 1st grade through the 6th grade.  The group meet most Sundays from 9:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m.

These children are just beginning their musical instruction.  They learn how to ring their chime and the beginnings of music reading with the emphasis on note value.  In addition, a few of the Sundays are set aside for fun rhythm activities.

Any parent wishing their child to participate in this group should contact the director or the church office for additional information.

Family Fundays

Leave your electronics at home and bring whomever you call family, related or not, for a time of games, friendly competitions, and special events. Once a month, we invite church and community families to come together in our Fellowship Hall for fun and food.

Contact childrensdirector@firstchurchriverside.org. for dates and details.

Preschool

The First United Methodist Preschool (FUMPS) was established in 1949.  It’s purpose was to provide the preschool child the opportunity for his own social, emotional, spiritual and developmental growth in a carefully planned program with a nurturing, Christian environment.  It was and continues to be an integral part of the educational program of our church.  FUMPS is licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services.
