First Time to Lexington United Methodist Church?

Everyone is welcome! 


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.

  • Sunday fundays

    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 here.
