We believe in the transforming grace of God — a grace that meets us where we are and helps us grow into who God calls us to be. As United Methodists, we emphasize faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, and living out our faith through love and service.

It means everyone is welcome here — no exceptions. We believe God’s love reaches all people, and our doors are open to anyone who wants to know Christ or grow in faith.

No. You’re welcome to worship, study, and serve with us whether or not you’re a member. If you decide to join, we’ll walk you through what that means — but you’ll always belong here.

Yes! The Lord’s Table in the United Methodist Church is open to all who seek Christ. You don’t have to be a member of Grace UMC or any church — just come with a willing heart.

Membership begins with a simple conversation. You can talk with Pastor Cheryl after worship or contact the church office. We welcome new members through baptism, profession of faith, or transfer from another congregation.

Baptism is one of two sacraments in the United Methodist Church (along with Communion). It’s a sacred act of God’s grace where we are named as His beloved children, joined to the body of Christ, and invited into a lifelong journey of faith. It’s both a beginning and a belonging.

We baptize infants because we believe God’s grace is already at work in their lives, even before they can understand it. It’s a visible reminder that God’s love comes first. Parents and the congregation promise to raise the child in faith until the child can confirm those promises for themselves.

Yes, but if you’ve already been baptized in any Christian denomination, that baptism is fully recognized. You don’t have to be baptized again — one baptism is enough.

No, baptism is done once because it’s God’s action, not ours. However, you can reaffirm your baptismal vows, which is a beautiful way to renew your commitment to Christ and remember the grace that marked you as His own.

We typically baptize by sprinkling or pouring water, but we also honor and can offer full immersion if requested. What matters is not the amount of water but the presence of the Holy Spirit and the grace it represents.

Absolutely. When youth or adults are baptized, they are publicly professing their faith in Christ and committing to follow Him. The congregation joins in promising to support and encourage them as they grow in faith.

It means your child is claimed by God, surrounded by grace, and welcomed into the family of faith. As parents, you promise to raise them in the love and knowledge of Christ — and your church family promises to help.

That baptism counts! The United Methodist Church recognizes all Christian baptisms — Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, or otherwise — as long as they were done with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Talk with Pastor Cheryl. We’ll discuss your story, prepare for the service, and celebrate together as your family and church family share this sacred moment.

There are so many ways to serve — from helping with worship and teaching children to joining the prayer cloth ministry or community outreach. You can start by talking to Pastor Cheryl or any ministry leader after worship.

Our Sunday School, youth gatherings, and children’s time in worship help kids and teens grow in faith through learning, laughter, and service. They’re not the future of the church — they’re part of it right now.

Yes. We offer Bible studies, small groups, and service opportunities for adults of all ages. Many of our ministries are intergenerational — we grow best when we learn from each other.

Of course! We welcome anyone who wants to serve. Just let us know what you’re interested in, and we’ll help you find your place.

You can give online through Tithely, placing your offering in the box by the door, or by mail. Every gift — large or small — helps us continue the ministries God has entrusted to us.

Yes. We use a secure giving platform that protects your information. You can make a one-time gift or set up recurring donations easily.

Yes, you can note if your gift is for a specific purpose such as missions, youth ministry, or building maintenance. Otherwise, gifts go into our general fund to support all ministries.

Every dollar given supports ministry — worship, outreach, discipleship, and care. We practice transparent stewardship and provide regular financial reports to keep our congregation informed.
