At Forest Lake UMC,

• We welcome and affirm all people, especially those who may not believe our story,

• We honor scripture through honest, critical study of the Bible,

• We side with the under-resourced, the oppressed, and the left out,

• We stand for justice, even when it’s unpopular.

• We work within our local community to show the love of God through acts of service and social justice.

​

We would love the opportunity to offer community, acceptance, affirmation, love, and a safe space for you!

​

Here are a few opportunities to get together:

​

Midweek Meals
Wednesdays @ 5 pm

We would love to treat you to a good meal with some good company.
Your first meal is on us and children and college students always eat free! There will be classes afterwards on several topics, including activities for youth and children, but there is no pressure to attend them if you'd prefer to leave after the meal.
All are welcome!

​

Sunday Mornings

On Sunday Mornings we gather for worship, scriptural and general discussion, and service.

​

Traditional Worship - 11 am - It's in the name! Hymns, liturgy, prayers, a sermon, a choir, and some more comfortable than average pews in the Sanctuary.

​

Modern Missions Worship - 11 am - This worship service is a little different from most. We sit around tables, have snacks and coffee, kids play and worship in the room with us, and we worship through a hands on missions element each week. This missions element typically is made up of wrapping diapers for a diaper bank, packing emergency meal kits or snack boxes for a local food pantry/soup kitchen, attaching notes of encouragement to prepacked snacks for the UA Safe Zone Student Lounge, or writing letters to community members who are homebound or restricted in their ability to engage in social situations. (This service does not meet on the first Sunday of the month, as we gather to worship with Saint Paul UMC on Bryant Drive.)

​

Sunday School - 9:45 am - There are classes for anyone and everyone. These discussion groups range from lecture style classes to conversation based small groups. We have more folks in Sunday School each week than we do in the worship services! 

​

It was great seeing you! We hope to hang out with you again soon!
