We want you to become part of the fun and fellowship of Worthington United Methodist Church (WUMC).
It all starts with a visit. Join us any Sunday at a worship service that feels right to you. Come as you are. You don’t have to dress a certain way, or claim prescribed beliefs. You simply need to come and connect with God in an open, accepting and supportive environment.
We currently offer two worship services (9 & 10 am). The 9 am service will be outside on the front lawn, unless weather forces us inside. The 10 am service will be inside in the Sanctuary and livestreamed on our YouTube page.

Membership at WUMC is a commitment to offering your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to the work of God in the world through the ministries of our congregation. In return, the WUMC community commits to nurturing and supporting you in your journey of loving God and loving your neighbor. Now, for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, we will be offering a new member course for those interested in joining this covenant relationship.
