As Methodists, we are called to cultivate more disciples and deeper disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of our community and world. You are invited to join us on the journey.

This week

Join Us for Worship


Join us for worship in the coming weeks as we explore themes of stewardship, celebration, and gratitude. We'll reflect on what it means to give of ourselves, celebrate the joys of community, and dive into Scripture to find hope, generosity, and trust in God’s promises, as well as give thanks for our blessings and grow together in faith.  

This coming Celebration Sunday, we will gather together to worship the Lord with gratitude and joy! During Communion, we will bring our pledge cards to the altar, partnering with all God is doing through PUMC. If you have lost your pledge card or need a new one, grace abounds! Additional pledge cards available in the narthex or from an usher.
