At PHUMC, we want to make sure you feel informed, connected, and genuinely cared for as part of this community. That's why we're asking for just a few minutes of your time to fill out our Communications and Caring Survey. 

This survey covers two simple areas: how well we're keeping you in the loop and how cared for you feel as a member of this congregation. Your honest answers will shape real decisions about how we do both. Take the survey by going to phumc.com/survey or clicking the button below. 

It takes less than five minutes—and every response matters. Thank you for helping us be the church you need us to be.

Last Sunday we had a competition across generations! Primetimers and youth came together for an evening of Bingo—and it was exactly the kind of night that reminds us why we love this church.

There's something special about the bonds that form when our oldest and youngest members share space, a meal, stories, and a little friendly competition. Last night had all of it.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a wonderful time.

Are you interested in what happens to War Memorial Park? Since the closing of the golf course in 2019, most of the park has become dormant, with no redevelopment plan fully realized. Recently, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that any redevelopment for the park is "in limbo" and a new park downtown next to I-30 is receiving attention by the city. The War Memorial Resources Alliance has created a survey to allow for a more citizen-driven redevelopment plan to take focus. Click the link below to take the survey and participate in deciding the future of War Memorial Park.
