Who We Are
Brian Wisti on Feb 13th 2008
All Are Welcome!
Our church has a rich history of deep Christian faith and we invite you to join us as we go forward into our second century of Christian witness with a warm and caring environment of Christian love. Our hard-working community continues to seek out God’s will for our lives, so we might be better disciples of Christ.
Worship
We are a family-oriented, spirit-filled community of believers. Each week our beautiful sanctuary is alive, inspired by dynamic preaching and prayerful community building. Our Music Programs bring inspiration to all through joyful praise every Sunday. There is a weekly time with children in our worship service. Our historical sanctuary is a favorite for choirs, weddings and concerts.
Christian Education
Our Christian Education Program includes Sunday School and Nursery classes and weekly Adult Bible Study. Pre-marital counseling and membership classes are available, scheduled on request as needed.
Outreach and Mission Programs
Examples of projects to which our church commits time and funding:
We have a “food cupboard” in the church office, which provides a helping hand to those families who need help to stretch their food budget from time to time.
Sandwich Makers provides 250 sandwiches monthly to Angeline’s Homeless Women’s Center, a downtown program of the YWCA.
Baby quilts have been provided in abundance to local hospitals, Baby Boutique, and others in need.
We provide assistance to the Church of Mary Magdalene through our Giving Tree and other programs.
The Green Lake School Age Program (GLSA) provides before- and after-school care for 60 children from Green Lake Elementary school and the neighborhood.
Fellowship
Bring a sandwich and enjoy lively conversation with “The Monday Lunch Bunch“, who meet every Monday at noon. Many of these same folks meet monthly for breakfast.
The United Methodist Women’s Society (UMW) has a heritage of Christian Service and sponsors such popular events as the Holiday Bazaar.
We believe small groups provide great opportunities offer you to grow in faith, deepen you spiritual life, offer service to our community and work, and enjoy wonderful fellowship. We welcome your assistance in developing new groups to meet the ever-changing needs of the community.
