The mission of the Homer United Methodist Church is to train, empower, equip, and encourage the laity to minister and share the love of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ with all people. We are an active, growing church of 240 members and have been serving God in this community since 1839, celebrating our 100th year in the current building on July 28, 2002. We are a diverse group of people from all walks of life, each bringing differing gifts, abilities, and needs making our church truly unique.

We are committed to our community and its people. To that end, we offer a variety of ministries and missions, including Sunday School classes for all age groups from pre-school to adults, as well as a variety of small group ministries. We have two large and active youth groups, one for high school and one for middle school. Our church facility is home to the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts of Homer. Our parish nurse provides services and health opportunities on a regular basis. As part of Homer Churches Cooperating we help meet the needs of many residents in a variety of ways. We serve the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of the month, opening the Lord's Table to all, members and nonmembers alike. We have a variety of fellowship opportunities, including coffee hour between worship and Sunday School, potlucks, cookouts, monthly movie nights and others.

You are welcome here and we will make every effort to ensure that you feel welcome, loved, uplifted, and encouraged. In a church of our size, we have the ability to offer a lot without ever losing the warmth of a small town church. Give us a try. You'll soon find yourself becoming part of our "church family", in a place where "everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came."

See you in church,
Pastor Stephen D. Burwell
