About Us

Community United Methodist Church is a community that seeks to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.  We strive together to open hearts, open minds, and open doors in the world around us.  We provide the place and the means for all who desire deep meaning, purpose and connection for their lives.
