We found Access the summer of 2013. The evening worship community was extremely attractive to us, as it allowed us to have another weekend morning. Once we set foot inside of FUMCR we knew we had found our church home. It was through Access that we found our church community which led us to get involved in Group Life. Our group has been together now for over three years. We look forward to seeing our group on a weekly basis and sharing a potluck meal along with a few belly laughs. Whenever we attend church, we feel even more connected when we are able to see and greet our friends. The music and community involvement continues to draw us into this space. We look forward to continuing to serve our community through involvement with Access.

When my husband and I got married we were both going to my church. We were looking for a church home we could call ours when Pastor Rich invited us to Access. We both really enjoyed the contemporary worship service and right away were introduced to a group of others in the same life stage as us. We love Access for how relatable the sermons are and how welcoming the staff is, but our community group really sealed the deal for us. Having a group of friends to turn to for encouragement and to share our joys, sorrows, and prayers with really made Access our home. We now have two little boys and are so excited about all that Access has to offer for families and look forward to seeing our sons grow and learn about Jesus.

My mom and I had been members of the church for 11 years when we stumbled into Access. I had just returned from college and met Julie at a young adult summer bible study she led. After getting to know Julie, I decided I wanted to go try Access, but I didn’t want to go alone. My mom agreed to go with me to make me feel more comfortable and we have never looked back. We love the family atmosphere that Access provides for us. This community has been with us through a lot and that brings a smile to both of our faces quicker than anything. Rich and Julie are a beautiful extension of what Clayton provides at the pulpit every morning. We love Access and FUMCR!
