Thank you for visiting. You are always welcome. The United Methodist Church has many doors through which people share in serving God and others. Whether you visit in person or via the Internet, we hope you discover something here to encourage you in your spiritual journey.

Together, we can open hearts, open minds and open doors.
The people of The United Methodist Church.


Our church lifestyle reflects a variety of approaches to worship.

The 8:00 service is a blended-contemporary service with praise music and traditional hymns led by our praise team, A Joyful Noise, and accompanied by piano, guitar, and keyboard. Lay planning and participation are a highlight of this service.

The 9:15 service is a more traditional, yet informal service. Music is traditional, and a Bible study format replaces the sermon. This service is held in the chapel, on the second floor.

The 10:30 service is the most traditional of the three. Music is traditional, led by the Chancel Choir and accompanied by pipe organ.

Parking is available in the paved lot to the west of the building, in the City Hall lot south of the building, and on the street. If entering through the west doors, make your way down the long hallway to the sanctuary entrance. Restrooms are midway down the hall on the left. Our building is handicapped accessible.

Paper bulletins are available for all services, and prayers, readings, and song lyrics are available via visual media at the 8:00 and 10:30 services.

Casual attire is welcome, as are suits and dresses. A typical Sunday finds worshipers in jeans, suits, and everything in between!

Nursery service is available in the nursery at the end of the hall on the second floor for ages 0 - 5. The nursery is open from 7:45 - 11:45 on Sunday mornings. Care is provided by paid staff who have undergone background checks. Sunday school for ages 3 and up is available at 9:15.

Communion is served on the first Sunday of each month, and, in the United Methodist tradition, is open to all who wish to participate. Gluten-free bread is available on request.

Coffee, tea, juice, and snacks are available throughout the morning downstairs in the Holy Roast, our coffee shop. We invite you to join in fellowship time between services in Fellowship Hall. The Holy Roast and Fellowship Hall are both in the church basement - take the stairs between the restrooms or elevator. And it’s OK to bring your cup of coffee to the church service!
