Parking Lot 2 (the Upper Parking Deck) will be closed from June 22 through early August while we reinforce sections of the concrete. This work will strengthen the deck and extend its life for years to come.

To make Sundays easier during the closure, we've secured overflow parking at War Memorial Stadium (the west lot, closest to Fair Park) on Sundays from June 28 through August 2, 7:30AM-1:00PM.

This week, members of our PHUMC staff and laity gathered with United Methodists from across the state for the Arkansas Annual Conference.

This year for our Raney Series, we are doing something a little different. Instead of a guest preacher or presenter, we are going to have a three-night revival.

Methodism was born as a revival movement. For John and Charles Wesley, revival wasn’t a sales pitch for heaven or a performative act. It was the slow, holy work of igniting the church, through the work of the Holy Spirit, to spread what they called “scriptural holiness” across communities. This same revival movement, over generations, helped end slavery, reform prisons, expand education, and open new roles for women in ministry. Revival, at its best, is transformation: of hearts, of congregations, of the world God so loves.

Three nights to gather, sing, pray, listen, and let God do the quiet, persistent work of making us new.

From July 19–28, 2027, a group from PHUMC will travel to Mwanza, Tanzania for a Service and Learning Trip rooted in partnership with Wesley College, a United Methodist school. We will learn about the school's mission and meet with students. And we'll spend time understanding the ways that education in health, business, communications, and theology is helping transform the Church and the nation.

If you’re interested in participating in this exciting opportunity or would like more information, contact Rev. Katye Chambers at kchambers@phumc.com.

Donuts are on break for the summer, but don't worry, you can take Dale the Donut with you on your summer adventures! Pick up a Dale the Donut cutout at the donut table or Welcome Desk, bring him with you on your adventures, take some photos with him, and tag the church on social media!
