Welcome to this United Methodist congregation! It is one of the nearly 35,000 similar congregations spread across the United States, which, together, make up the United Methodist Church. United Methodism is a uniquely diverse denomination and it is almost impossible to characterize either a “typical” congregation or an “average” United Methodist. We are the most ethnically and socially diverse and the most evenly distributed denomination in America. With only minor exception, every town of at least two thousand people in America has one or more United Methodist congregations.
