What is a Methodist?

Methodists are Christian believers who order our worship, our churches, and our spiritual formation after the model developed during the Wesleyan Revival in the mid 1700s.If you'd like to learn more about The United Methodist Church, you can visit its Web site for general information on Methodism. To read about what we believe click on Beliefs.  There is also a booklet called "Questions & Answers" by Thomas S. McAnally that provides an overview of the Methodist Tradition.  You can pick one up at the church office or in one of our visitor centers throughout the building.

What will the Sunday worship service be like?

That all depends on the service you attend. The 8:30 "Early Early" service tends to be more intimate, while the 10:55 service is more upbeat.  Both offer traditional and contemporary elements. We sing classic hymns and modern worship songs.  We have proclamations of faith and special music.  We pray for one another, love on one another, and worship together.  We follow a traditional order of service with some new twists and in everything strive to allow the Holy Spirit to have control.  The same Bible message is offered in both services but the sermon is never the same twice.

The first Sunday of every month is Communion Sunday in adherence to the traditional Methodist value of Constant Communion.

Do I have to be a church member to take Communion?

No.  In the United Methodist church we practice "Open Communion." This simply means that communion is available to any and all who wish to share in God's grace.

How do I dress for Sunday Worship?

However you are comfortable dressing. We believe it is more important to focus on worship instead of clothing.

How long are worship services?

Worship services usually last about an hour but we do allow for the occasional need to run slightly over and we always strive to allow God to dictate the flow of worship above our schedule.

Are there things for my child to do during worship services?

All children are invited to attend services with their parents.

During all services, our nursery is available for children ages birth through 2-years.

And, during 10:55 worship service Little Children's Church is available for Preschoolers and Elementary kids in grades K - 2nd.  In addition,  children in grades 3rd through 5th are invited to head over to Children's Church after our the "Children Sermon" segment.

If you have a teenager, they are invited to attend the service with you. Many of our youth often sit together and would welcome having your teenager join them. There are also youth activities for them on Sunday nights and throughout the week. More about our Youth Ministries.

All of our children's and youth workers are Safe Sanctuary Certified.

What is Safe Sanctuary?

The objective of our Safe Sanctuary policy is to ensure a safe, secure Christian atmosphere for all children and youth during church-sponsored events and worship services. More information and a copy of our policy can be found here. We believe that church should be the safest place you can take your children.
