FAQs
When are your Sunday worship services?
Our worship services take place every Sunday morning throughout
the year at 10:30am.
Study groups meet before worship at 9:00am and the choir rehearsal begins
at 10:00am.
A time of fellowship with refreshments is held after worship each week.
What programs do you have
for children?
Currently we provide nursery care for infants through preschoolers
each Sunday morning from 9:00am-1:00pm. Separate classes for elementary
age children (K-6th graders) and youth (7th –12th graders) are
held each Sunday morning from 9:00-10:00am.
Our youth ministry involves frequent mission and service projects as
well as occasional opportunities for fellowship and fun! Eating is one
of our favorite things to do.
Can I get my baby baptized
there?
Baptism is a Holy Sacrament of the Christian church and is practiced
within the Methodist tradition as part of a weekly Sunday worship service.
It is a rite of Christian initiation requiring preparation and commitment
on the part of the parents and/or sponsors including meeting with the
pastor and demonstrable practices of the Christian faith. For more information,
please contact the pastor at 652-8411 or at pastor.mtlebanonumc@verizon.net.
What is the church policy on weddings?
Our church is available for the celebration of Christian wedding
ceremonies. We hold Christian marriage as a service of public worship
and seek to celebrate this spiritual covenant with dignity yet allowing
for individual expression. Christian marriage is different from civil
marriage ceremonies that establish secular contracts. Christian marriage
is the declaration, establishment and blessing of a relationship between
each individual, the couple and God.
Our church sanctuary provides a beautiful and intimate setting for weddings
and seats 150 people. Interested couples must first meet with the pastor
for an initial consultation before a date can be reserved and three
pre-marital counseling/conversations are required. Reservations generally
should be set and approved at least six months prior to the intended
date. Wedding fees include:
the Church fee for the rehearsal and wedding, $250;
the Sexton charge, $80;
the Organist Fee, $150 (with additional charge for extra rehearsals)
To speak further with
the pastor about a wedding at our
church, please call the church office at (302) 652-8411 or email pastor.mtlebanonumc@verizon.net.

Is the church hall available

YES! We are happy to make the church facility available for short
term or long term rental use. Individual rooms (5-15 people) are available

gatherings, meetings, classes, receptions and parties. The church sanctuary
