Frequently Asked Questions

Christ United Methodist Church is a large church. Will I get lost in the crowds?

CUMC is undoubtedly a large church with many members - but this allows us to offer a great many programs that might not be available at smaller churches. And, we can't recommend more highly that you involve yourself in a small group. It's amazing how fast our large church seems to shrink when you get to know your small group and the other volunteers in your area of ministry.

How do I find out what's going on at CUMC?

If you read the Sunday-service Worship Guide announcements, our weekly Snapshot e-mail newsletter and the monthly Spirit magazine, you'll keep up with almost everything that's happening at Christ United Methodist Church. Also our Senior Pastor Don Underwood distributes a weekly email newsletter which highlights important activities in the life of the church. (Another great way, of course, is to explore the website, just like you're doing now!)

How do I get involved with choir or other musical groups?

CUMC's music ministry welcomes interested peoples with talent and enthusiasm. For more information on joining these ministries, check out Traditional/Blended Worship Arts or Contemporary Music.

How do I find a Sunday School class?

Christ United Methodist Church offers dynamic Sunday School classes for all age groups. You can find more detailed information at the Sunday School pages for Adults, Youth, or Children.

What do Methodists believe?

United Methodists profess the historic Christian faith. We encourage you to read more at the website of the United Methodist Church - or to attend our worship services or other programs and ask lots of questions. Go ahead - be nosy!

How do I get involved at CUMC?

Opportunities for involvement - from small groups and volunteer opportunities to missions and music - are open to anyone who wants to participate, members and visitors alike. A great way to get involved is to visit the Welcome Desk outside the Sanctuary where trained individuals are on hand to greet you and help you find a way to get connected.
