Creating a Vision Together

Avondale United Methodist Church has a lot to be proud of.  We serve our neighbors through feeding ministries, after school programs, summer enrichment for elementary students, and social workers helping people in crisis.  We have meaningful worship and Bible study on a weekly basis.  And we just completed a renovation

Capital Improvements Update

We’re excited to be headed back into the sanctuary this weekend for worship.  The new HVAC is working beautifully to cool the space.  Although cooling and heating don’t offer anything visually appealing to the space, you’ll definitely feel the difference.  The visual change is that the old radiators have been

The Gift of a Star

Dear Church Family & Friends, We’re six days into the new year, and today is the day we mark Epiphany.  It’s the day that we religious types say that the wise men/magi/three kings (however you want to identify them) finally made it to the manger.  They’d had no visits from

Celebrating the New Year

Dear friends, Maybe you’re one of those people, like me, who looks back at the previous year in remembrance and thanksgiving while also looking ahead with hopes and dreams for the year to come. In the early days of Methodism, our founder John Wesley (1703-1791) invited people to reflect on

Waiting with Hope

Dear Friends, Waiting with patience and hope.  It’s not something that I find easy to do, especially in a culture where it seems everything is available with just one click.  But that’s what we’re called to do … to wait with patience and hope for the coming of Christ.  Advent

About Our Church

Avondale UMC is... a community of faith that is passionate about deepening connections with God, with each other, and with our neighbors.  No matter who you are, where you come from, how much you have, or who you love, Avondale UMC welcomes everyone who wishes to grow in their faith in Jesus Christ and to serve alongside us.  Together, we are in ministry with people of all ages, classes, races, nationalities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We strive to live out a distinctly Wesleyan theology that focuses on God’s grace being available to all and living out that grace through acts of love, mercy, and justice.
