- How do we learn to listen for the wisdom and values of others when tension is high?
Come and talk with people you know and people you can get to know about a variety of topics. All are WELCOME ... bring your friends and join in small group conversation using guiding questions. Something new every week. Non-alcoholic options and food is available.
Great Food, reduced prices during Happy Hour!
Our missions are grounded in Jesus’ practice of ministry. As Paul writes, “You will be enriched in every way for your great generosity, which will produce thanksgiving to God through us.”
~ 1 Corinthians 9:11
A special mission collection is taken on
the 3rd Sunday of each month.
The next collection will be October 19, 2025
and our mission offering
will go to
UMC Haiti - Garden of Hope Mission
November’s Mission Moment will focus on the country of Haiti. We are joining the United Methodist Churches in the Michigan Conference in planting seeds of hope in Haiti! The campaign aims to transform communities through sustainable
agriculture, education, and healthcare initiatives. By supporting this cause, we will provide vital resources that empower local farmers, educate children, and enhance healthcare access. Together, we can build a brighter future for Haitian families, fostering resilience and sustainable growth.
Future Opportunities for Giving
Special Sundays! The United Methodist Church, World Wide, has church wide Special Sundays which unite us in serving, giving and strengthening our faith. You will hear more about two of these Special Sundays in December so please, think about the value of giving through your church for the good of others.
December 7 Peace with Justice:
Your donations will support programs and ministries to educate, equip and mobilize networks to engage in building awareness and taking action for the good of our neighborhoods and communities.
December 28 United Methodist Student Day: Your donations will support over 70 scholarships for United Methodist students, nationally and internationally...many of whom have sensed a calling to ministry for the coming years and decades.
The next RED BAG SUNDAY is
November 2, 2025
Would you like to give the gift of food to help local neighbors? We collect food on the first Sunday of the month, often in available red reusable bags. Thus the name, Red Bag Sunday! All that is collected goes to the local food pantry, Project Blessing, for distribution.

Everyone is Welcome
First Time to Lexington United Methodist Church?
Church can be an intimidating place to visit for the first time— especially if you don’t know what to expect. We invite you to experience what the gospel means in mind, body & spirit at one of our Sunday worship services. You can engage with others as much as you want, or remain anonymous if you prefer. We hope that through visiting with us, you will experience the hope, love, and joy that comes from a community of people who love Jesus.
4th Sunday Fundays are Here!
All ages gather in a relaxed worship space created to bring all ages together and experience worship and faith formation together. Young disciples experience a meaningful message, create something that helps them connect to God, and help lead worship. And there are snacks! Every student gets a packet to take home with lessons and activities to help them learn about God, Jesus and the Church.
Children of all ages are always welcome in the sanctuary. Children of all ages are welcome to participate in Holy Communion which is on the first Sunday of each month.
If you have any questions contact Genie Bank
