Our Mission

The Woodside United Methodist Church is more than a building.  We are a warm and open community that welcomes all people.  We try to apply the gospel of Jesus Christ to today’s world.  We seek to use our unique gifts in God’s service.  We are proud of our past and look forward to a vibrant future.  Above all else, we strive to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbors as ourselves.

Worship on Sundays

9:00 a.m.

We worship God in person and on Zoom every Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.

We enjoy fellowship over the best piping hot coffee you can get in a church,

along with baked goods and other bites immediately following worship.

Take a comfy seat where you will find yourself among friends.

It's Not Too Late.png

LENT Worship Series

starts Feb 18
How often do you find yourself thinking, “It’s too late”—too late to change, to overcome a struggle, to heal a relationship, or even for the world to be different? Through Jesus, we are assured it is not too late. God does not give up on us. God keeps calling us to turn around and come home. This turning is called repentance—a gift that makes real change possible, not only for us as individuals but for our communities. Repentance is often tangled up with guilt and shame, but in this Lenten season of self-examination, we will discover together that it is actually a source of hope, freedom, and transformation.
