Fairmont United Methodist Church

About this church

Fairmont United Methodist Church holds classic worship at 11 a.m. Sunday at 2501 Clark Avenue in Raleigh. The service includes hymns and songs, choir, Scripture, sermon, a children's moment, shared prayer concerns, and the Passing of the Peace. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month. Business-casual clothing is common, and students from the church's college ministry often worship alongside neighbors and people from across the Triangle.

Music is unusually broad for one congregation: vocal and handbell choirs, small and instrumental ensembles, gospel choir, gospel jazz, and musicians in recovery all contribute in different settings. The church summarizes its priorities as loving God, worshiping joyfully, advocating for peace and justice, embracing diversity, and serving with Christlike compassion. Community work includes a Little Food Pantry and food drives, with additional pathways for service and local involvement published through the site. Sunday worship is also represented on the official YouTube channel, helping prospective visitors hear the style before attending. Someone seeking a traditional Methodist service will find familiar liturgical and musical elements at 11, while the college presence, open sharing of celebrations and concerns, varied music, and justice-oriented identity distinguish Fairmont from a purely formal worship setting. Families can expect children to be brought forward and visibly included in the service rather than separated for the entire hour.
