Get Connected.

Church as Community.

God created us for community. The United Methodist Church is a connectional church. We know we arent designed to navigate our lives on our own. Our open and welcoming community has a place for you no matter your age, gender, life circumstances, or availability. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we have a place for you to connect with others!

We recognize the importance of providing space where people of like minds, similar interests, or common curiosities can meet together for conversation and sharing. We have groups for LGBTQIA+ folx, women of all ages, youth, and kids! Keep reading to see what group fits your interests!
