Yes! Our Children’s Hour is a place where children (infants to 5th grade) are seen, welcomed, and taught about Jesus in a safe and secure environment. Find out more about our children’s ministry on Sundays.
Our Children’s Hour includes lessons, videos, and/or activities for both preschool and elementary-aged children.
Can I partake in communion?
Holy Communion in the UMC is an open table, meaning all are welcome, including those from other churches.
All persons who respond to the invitation – those who need Christ, seek forgiveness of sin, desire to become more Christlike, and want to act lovingly toward others – are welcome to commune with us.
We affirm the historic Christian precedent that people are normally baptized prior to receiving communion. Yet, as our invitation notes, baptism is not required.
What if I need to leave in the middle of the service?
No problem at all! You can quietly stand up and head out whenever you need to. If you have a child in children’s ministry, feel free to stop by and pick them up, or ask an usher for help — they’ll be happy to guide you.
You can always check our Worship page to finish the sermon if you have to leave early for any reason.
What kind of music can I expect?
We primarily sing a mixture of modern worship music and traditional hymns.
Education
We believe Christian Education guides our spiritual growth. It begins in our first years and lasts throughout the rest of our lives. Classes and studies are varied and many.
