Vibrant Worship of God Transforms Lives

If you are enjoying your worship of God, attend regularly the same house of worship, and find it to be meeting your spiritual, educational, missional, and ministry needs, then, God bless you and your journey with God there. If, however, you have no house of Worship to call home or are finding that you are not receiving what you need where you do worship, then, Come and Worship the Living God of the Bible at Round Hill United Methodist Church.

Come and join us for coffee, snacks and fellowship in the Social Hall prior to, or following your worship service.

We are not saying we have all the answers but we are actively searching for a relevant way of life; one lived with individual and corporate active relationships with the Living Word of God, Jesus the Messiah. If this sounds interesting to you, come, join our journey with the eternal.

A nursery is available on the second floor for children three and under.
