Hey there! We are super excited to welcome you to Canyon Lake United Methodist Church! We often refer to Canyon Lake United Methodist Church as CLUMC. We are a bit biased, but CLUMC is an awesome place. If you're looking for a church home, please know we would be honored to be your church home! We have two uniquely gifted pastors and a wonderful team of staff and servants who make CLUMC a fun place to worship, grow, and serve. Welcome!
PARKING AND MAIN DOOR: There is parking both above and below the church. The main parking lot is on top and that will get you closest to the main doors which are marked by the word "Sanctuary." Wheelchair accessible parking is available.
WHAT'S FOR KIDS? Kids are welcome in worship all the time and anytime! Due to COVID-19 safety guidelines, we do not currently offer childcare when we have in-person worship. But know that their wiggles are okay with us! Miss Erin is our amazing Children's Coordinator. She leads both in-person and online Sunday School and Wednesday Jam for our elementary kids. For more information, you can click here or contact Miss Erin.
Children's time is offered at all Sunday services. At each service, Miss Erin offers a special message just for kids. It's always themed to match the pastor's message that day - but in a way that kids can relate to!
Children's Church is available at the Contemporary Service (when we meet in-person). Following the Children's Time, Erin and a helper will lead the kids downstairs for fun and learning. Kids will be brought back after the message. Your kids can stay in worship or head with Erin - the choice is yours.
Sunday School is offered during the school year for children and adults of all ages. Learn more.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS? Any way you want! Some come in shorts and jeans or dresses or causal pants and others in more formal attire. Whatever makes you comfortable - we're okay with that. You'll most often see our pastors in jeans.
DO I HAVE TO WEAR A MASK? Part of our job as Christians is provide deep care for all of those in our midst. With this in mind, we're asking that folks wear masks for in-person gatherings. However, we understand that some people simply can't or don't feel comfortable wearing masks. If that's you - know that we still so want you to worship with us. Feel free to join us live online for our 8:30 and 10:45 AM services.
WHAT'S THE NEWER BIG BUILDING? That's the Christian Life Center (CLC). The Middle School and High School youth have their spaces in that building along with a kitchen, gym, showers, fellowship space, a few classrooms, and a chapel.
NEXT STEPS? If you've decided that CLUMC is your church (yeah!) or want to learn more, you'll want to attend our Discipleship Pathway. This is a 10-week small group that is offered in both the fall and spring semesters. Learn more here or by contacting Pastor Brett.
