Christ United Methodist Church

Igelsa Metodist Unida Cristo

OUR MISSION: “We are grains of sand in God’s creation, building blocks in the structure of life,
as we care and help each other to live in dignity with and through the love of Christ.
We believe the prescription for a healthy spiritual and physical life lies in prayer
to connect us as the body of Christ and enables us to serve in God’s Holy Name”.

Memorial Guarden

The Church has long had a concern for the reverent disposal of the remains of her dead. In the past, the churchyard often adjoined the church building, but this has become impractical. Recognizing the desire for church-centered arrangements at the time of death, Christ United Methodist Church has provided a Memorial Garden for ashes to be interred.

Music

The Church employs a full time Choir Director/Organist who provides choirs for all ages.

Education

The Church provides Sunday School in both Spanish (10:00 AM Sundays) and English (9:15 AM Sundays) from September to June. Bible study and special short term programs are also run by the Church.
