Welcome to ESUMC

We're so glad you're here! Here are some ways for you to learn more and take the next steps to get connected at ESUMC


Coffee and Quick Conversation // 11:30-11:45 am, Fourth Sunday of the Month

Remain after church on the 4th Sunday of the month and meet a few church folks who can answer your questions and help you get oriented to the church and its ministries. For more information contact Rev. Ashley Griffith


New Member Interest Lunch

Every other month we host a lunch immediately following worship from 11:30-12:30 where you can have more conversations with lay leaders and pastors about the church and its mission. Come to get to know others who are also considering joining the church and learn the process of joining. Children are welcome, too! For more information contact Rev. Ashley Griffith


Take a Class (from the comfort of your couch!)

Explore what it means to be a Christian, what it means to be a United Methodist, and how to engage in the life of ESUMC in three short (10 minute) video classes taught by the pastors. Click here to access the videos. For more information contact Rev. Ashley Griffith
