KUMC is a community of faith thankful for its rich history and bright future in mission and ministry. In the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, Methodism in Eastern Wake County included a congregation known as Oakey Grove Methodist Church which met in a small white frame structure that still stands today in the community of Shotwell. As the town of Knightdale incorporated and grew, the rural congregation noticed a need for a new church among the growing population there. The congregation's current building was erected in the 1940s.
True to its roots, KUMC is still a "church on the move." Plans are underway for yet another relocation, moving to a 10 acre site on the corner of Forestville and Old Crews Roads, on the North side of Knightdale. Recent growth in the church and community create a demand for more adequate space for the varied ministries KUMC seeks to share with the community. By the grace of God, the congregation looks forward to continued growth and expanding ministries.
Our vision is to become a church where every participant is growing in relationship with God and offering themselves through giving and serving in some way; where every participant is part of a small group for nurture and growth; where every participant is involved in reaching out to build relationships with people who need Christ's love.
