What is I.A.B.? I.A.B. stands for Inclusivity, Accessibility, and Belonging. At Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church, we strive to be the kind of place where EVERYONE can fully participate in the life of the church, grow in their faith and relationship with God, and use their unique gifts in service to God’s mission in the world. I.A.B. is for everyone—not just people with specialized training or people with specific needs. We can all help include others. We can all help find creative ways to make our programs and spaces more accessible. We can all work to ensure PHUMC is a place where everyone finds true belonging and purpose. To help us in this work, we’ve created a survey. It will take around 10 minutes, but it will inform the work we undertake, telling us what’s working, where the gaps are, and how we can do better. Please take some time at phumc.com/IAB or click the link below to give us your feedback.

We are once again looking for some dedicated folks to join our Wakefield Elementary School Team. Reading Buddies meet once a week with individual students.
