You are welcome. You are wanted.
Love without limits
SUNDAYS at 8:00 | 9:00 | 11:00
228 W. Edenton Street - Downtown Raleigh
We want you to know you are welcome and wanted here by a God who knows you by name and loves you without limits.
When you are full of questions or full of faith; When you know your purpose or are searching for it; When you are lonely and hurting or feel seen and valued; When you are ready to serve or to be cared for; No matter who you are, where you’re from, or who you love
We are more like the people God is calling us to be with you here.

The bible year @ ESUMC
Join our congregation in reading through Scripture in 365 days. Starting January 1, 2026, we are embarking on The Bible Year—a journey from Genesis to Revelation that will deepen our faith, strengthen our community, and transform how we engage God’s Word.
Wednesdays at
Edenton Street
Our Wednesday evening programming is more than another church activity—it's a strategic step toward the spiritually alive and connected community God is calling us to be. From families gathering together, to the Chancel Choir and Gathering Band sharing meals before making music, to having meaningful conversations in our adult studies, our vision is coming to life—lives being transformed and Christ’s hope being shared. We hope you’ll join us.
Celebrate Black History Month
Learning, Listening, and Celebrating Black History
We join people around the country this month in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month and honoring the incredible contributions the Black community has made throughout history and continues to make today. If you're looking for ways to learn more and celebrate Black History Month, we have some great resources—including things to read, watch, listen to, and participate in this month. We especially recommend joining us for the screening and discussion of St. Paul and Smokey Hollow - A Community Story, on February 25.
