California Wildfire Disaster Relief

United Methodists are contributing to help provide disaster relief for Californians impacted by the Santa Ana-driven wildfires and the devastation they bring to families, buildings, businesses, and the environment. The Florida Conference has already donated $10,000 toward relief efforts. Help by contributing to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee On Relief) or any assisting organization. You can give to UMCOR, by indicating it in the memo section of your check or you can give to UMCOR online at

Community Dinner, TODAY!

Join us TODAY, from 5 to 6:30 pm,  in the Fellowship Hall. This is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a delicious meal and connect with others in our community. We encourage you to pick up some invitation cards and share them with your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers. Let’s spread the word and share the love! If you’re interested in helping with this event, please contact the Church Office for more details. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join a Supper Club This Spring

We’re excited to announce the start of a new season of Supper Clubs, beginning in February and continuing through the spring! These groups of 6-8 people will gather to share a meal and enjoy meaningful fellowship, all with the goal of getting to know one another in a relaxed setting beyond Sunday mornings. Life moves fast, but Supper Clubs offer the chance to slow down, enjoy great company, and build deeper connections with others in our church family. Sign up in the East Wing or on the “Sign-Ups Page” on our website. Let’s share meals, stories, and laughter together.

Celebrating the Growth of Our 2025 Stewardship Campaign

We are thrilled to share the incredible results of our 2025 Stewardship Campaign, “Rooted in Grace & Generosity.” This year, we received 29 pledges totaling $82,998—a remarkable 32% increase in pledged giving compared to 2024, which had the same number of pledges totaling $62,682.

Thank you for your generous pledges, reflecting our shared commitment to faith, service, and furthering God’s work. If you haven’t pledged yet, there’s still time—every gift makes a significant impact. Let’s continue growing together, rooted in grace and generosity!

Support Our Free Little Pantries

This vital resource serves those in need, and we need your help to keep it stocked! Please donate non-perishable dry and canned goods, especially foods requiring little to no preparation to support our unhoused neighbors. Bring your donations to the East Wing. Together, we can make a difference!
