No need to dress up. Bring your whole family. Bring your friends.
We are more than a church. We are love, we are spirit, we are fellowship. Whether you’re new to town and looking for your new Sunday home, looking to further develop your relationship with God, or you just need to feel some compassion, we welcome you with open arms and open hearts.
How We Serve
When asked what the greatest commandment is, Jesus answered with two: “You must love the Lord your God” and “You must love your neighbor as you love yourself” (Matthew 22:34-40).
Following Jesus’s call, founder of the early Methodist movement John Wesley taught us to grow in our faith by “doing good of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all” (General Rules).
United Methodists around the world are active in our local communities, and through our global connection of congregations and agencies, we participate in ministries thousands of miles from where we live.
