Questions & Answers

Here are some answers to common questions for visitors.
Our spiritual goal as United Methodists is to embody the love of neighbor in a constant and consistent fashion, so that when people look at us, all they see is the love of God shining forth from us.  This is our understanding of God’s grace working in us.

For worship, please enter through either door on E. Morgan Street or the door under the covered overhang around the church building. This door is handicap accessible, and there is an elevator just down the hall to the right. 

To visit the church office (typically open Tuesday-Thursday 9-5; Friday 9-12), please ring the bell at either door so that we can assist you.

For Open Doors families, please enter beside the playground.

Our worship places emphasis on the rhythms of traditional liturgy. We enjoy singing together from The United Methodist Hymnal and The Faith We Sing. Our chancel choir assists in leading worship- we love music! 
Most who attend worship wear clothing that is nicer for Sunday mornings, yet comfortable. We are not currently requiring masks, but encourage mask wearing when COVID transmission rates are higher or you are in close proximity to those with weakened immune systems. There is room to spread out in our sanctuary and in our Fellowship Hall (where we are worshiping this summer!)
There is an adult and a children’s Sunday School class that meet at 9:30 each week.
There is a nursery available- but we love the excitement of little ones and encourage them to worship with us! 

We are worshiping in the Fellowship Hall for the summer and have an interactive kids’ corner with fun toys, puzzles, and things to color.

If you are interested in joining the church, please fill out the “Contact Us” form, call the church office, or chat with Pastor Stacey. We will look forward to answering your questions about The UMC and our congregation and welcoming you!
