Winchester United Methodist Church

A Lighthouse of Hope: Reaching, Sharing, Teaching, Caring; united to reflect God's Love to All

Who we are/What we believe

Winchester United Methodist Church has been serving Winchester for well over one hundred years. It has the reputation of being an open and caring congregation. It combines a rich past with an openness to change when it can help reach people with the love of Christ. Two services are offered each Sunday. The 8 a.m. service features a shorter, traditional service and the 10 a.m. service is more open and contemporary.

Opportunities for involvement include: Sunday School for children and adults of all ages, Junior and Senior High Youth Groups, Mom‘s groups, church trips, Women’s group, Men’s group, bible studies, musical groups, cantatas, plays and musicals, mission opportunities, and a host of other activities. Everyone is welcome to participate. We have no dress codes.

Hundreds are shown God’s love through the ministries of this congregation every year and you are welcome to be a part in any way you choose.

As Christians we believe in God, His son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that through the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus we have been saved from sin and death. We believe that the Bible is the Holy Word of God. We believe that we are called to be a church to spread the good news of God’s love and grace to the  world.
