Message from the Pastors

Welcome to our CUMC web site! As you browse through our pages, we hope your visit with us will be enjoyable and informative. Catonsville UMC has a deep commitment to honoring and praising God, to compassionately serving God's people, to practicing acts of Christian love, and to educating our young and old alike -- all in the name of Jesus Christ!

We are a busy congregation of 1300 members. Among our many ministries and programs, our members and guests enjoy a wide variety of children's, youth, and family focused activities. We continue to expand and look for exciting ways to provide a meaningful place for families to worship, fellowship, and grow in Christ. We offer worship three times on Sunday, which includes a contemporary family-friendly service as well as traditional worship services. We are also a very mission and outreach oriented church, serving the spiritual and physical needs of people all around us.

We invite you to join us as we carry out Christ's message, mission, and ministry in this place:

• The message we share is the good news that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has come to us for us.

• The mission we share is to become disciples in order to make disciples.

• The ministry we share is to practice acts of compassion and caring, so that those seeking a spiritual home can find friends around the table of God's love.

Please join us as we continue to be God's people in this place!

Welcome in Christ,

Rev. Mark R. Waddell
Pastor
