Love God. Live His Word. Share the Grace

First Time?WELCOME TO SUNSET UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Welcome, and thanks for your interest in Sunset United Methodist Church. We believe we are called to “Love God, Live His Word, and Share His Grace.”
That belief shapes everything we do, from our worship on Sunday mornings to our after-school program to our food pantry and our youth ministries. We find that when we express God’s love in the community around us, we experience God’s love in a deeper way.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Sunday Services: Both our Sunday morning worship services last about one hour. Our 8:45 am worship is described as “blended” because we sing both contemporary praise choruses and traditional hymns. Our 10:50 worship is more traditional with music led by an outstanding choir.
Arriving: We have reserved a parking place just for you near our drop-off area. Greeters are waiting for you and will guide you to our Welcome Center where you will receive information, a gift bag, refreshments and a friendly welcome. One of our members will help you find the sanctuary and our Sunday School classes.
Come as you Are: Dress however you like. At Sunset United Methodist Church you will see some of us in blue jeans and others in three-piece suits.
Bring the Kids: We provide a nursery for children under the age of five. A children’s sermon is incorporated into both worship services and at the 10:50 service, the children’s sermon is followed by Children’s Church for ages 3 years through 1st grade.
Fellowship: Between services refreshments are provided, so come back to the Welcome Center for more fellowship.
WHAT WE OFFER
Sunset United Methodist Church offers opportunities for spiritual growth at any age.
With eight different adult Sunday School classes, we are confident we will meet your learning style and fellowship needs. We also provide Christian Education for youth and for children 2 years of age and older.
Our music program is among the finest in our area. On Monday afternoons we have musical opportunities for children of all ages from toddlers through junior high. We have a youth handbell choir and two adult handbell choirs. Our Praise Team rehearses on Tuesday evenings and our Chancel Choir on Wednesday evenings.
Our United Methodist Men’s group meets on the second Saturday morning of every month typically at 8am, and our United Methodist Women meet regularly in small groups for Bible Study, handbells, and book reviews in addition to quarterly meetings as a total group.
Our youth meet on Sunday evenings and are very active in church camps and conference events. We are proud and supportive of their monthly mission projects as well as their annual mission trip.
