Sunday mornings at Palisades Methodist are a breath of fresh air. It’s a casual, hometown environment. Greeters will welcome you and ushers will hand you a copy of our weekly bulletin – full of events and classes for you to take part in. Once you take your seat, it’s going to be an enjoyable hour of celebrating Christ’s love in music, speaking, and prayer.

The first Sunday of the month we join in communion. We welcome everyone who wishes to join in this sacrament and don’t turn anyone away. For the rest of the month, we take the time to share praise and prayer requests together. This is one of our most unique and cherished times because we can learn more about each other and create genuine bonds in Christian community.

After the service, stick around for our Coffee Fellowship time with lemonade, coffee and confections. Then wander upstairs for Pastor’s in-depth teaching class for an interesting study and open discussion. Childcare is available during this time.

What should I wear?

You are welcome to bring your children with you in the service. There are activity packets in the Narthex (entry area) for those who wish to stay in the service.
