Welcome to Grace UMC
Join us at one of our worship services at 8:30 am and 11:00 am. Sunday School classes begin at 9:45 AM. Enjoy a cup of coffee and good conversation during Fellowship Time in the Welcome Center at 9:30 am and 10:30 am.
 
Grace Children’s Church is offered during both worship services. Children ages 3-8 are invited to join us for games, crafts, and Bible time. Children will sit with their families during the beginning of the service, then after the children’s moment, they will be called to leave for Children’s Church.

Service Opportunities

Give to Maui Relief
The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) responds worldwide whenever and wherever suffering occurs through tragedies like hurricanes, famine, floods, war, fire and other events. UMCOR staff and volunteers are often the first boots on the ground and the last boots to leave a place that has experienced tragedy like the recent wildfires in Hawaii on the island of Maui. To financially assist the relief effort, write a check to Grace UMC, and write “Maui Relief” in the memo line. Our church’s apportionments help pay for UMCOR’s overhead costs so that 100% of your contribution goes to the relief that’s desperately needed in Maui right now.
