Sunday mornings
What is the difference between the three worship services?
Worship in the Chapel at 8:00am is a shorter, casual service for Sunday workers, those who ski or hike or experience God best early.
Worship in the Sanctuary at 9:00am and 10:30am includes musical offerings, scripture readings, and a meaningful sermon. The 10:30am service also includes a children's message.
Childcare is provided at the 9:00am and 10:30am services, and during special services such as special holidays.
Between the 9:00am and 10:30am services join us in the gym for coffee, juice, treats and fellowship.

How often do we have communion? Who is welcome to participate?
We serve communion once a month, usually on the first Sunday of each month. We believe that all who seek a relationship with Jesus are welcome to participate, regardless of whether you are a member or regular attender. Children are welcome to come forward with their parents.
How should I dress?
Christ UMC is a "come as you are" church. Jeans or ties are equally welcomed.
What's available for my children?
We welcome all children! Children's programs and special events occur throughout the year. Our goal is to help every child learn about God's love for them. Caring and trained staff will help your child feel welcome and safe.
