Who We Are

 

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.

Our Beautiful 1903 Historic Church is a reflection of the Kingdom of God, as we all strive to love one another, our neighbors as ourselves and all are welcome to join in the life of Green Lake United Methodist Church!  Our beautiful building was built with the loving hands of our 50 original members as they strove to create a beautiful place to worship the true King of all – the source of Love – Our God in the Green Lake Neighborhood.  It has been God who has brought this congregation through the struggles of the early years, the depths of the depression, the struggles of war and reconstruction eras to our present time of global uncertainty.  Here you will experience the Love and Beauty of God, all are invited to worship and be a part of our church community.

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:

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/Education

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.  Our UMW meets with Woodland Park UMC’s for a combined effort in north Seattle.

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.
