Kessler Park UMC is a caring and inclusive congregation, celebrating God’s love for all people. The congregation combines a tradition of vibrant worship with a relevant and progressive message as well as concern for the real issues, challenges and possibilities of today’s world.
We seek to nurture and strengthen persons of all ages for spiritual growth expressed in love of neighbor and servant ministry.
Children’s programs include out exciting “Carpenter’s Corner” Sunday School, where children gather for songs and snacks before rotation each week into age-appropriate classes for lessons, storytelling and hands-on activities in our “Holy Word Theater,” “Solid Rock Cafe: and other creative settings. Annual events include Vacation Bible School, an innovative Religious Arts Academy each summer, a parade and egg hunt at Easter, a Christmas Pageant, and much more.
Our dynamic group enjoys weekly fellowship and teaching events while also emphasizing service projects and missions both locally and on extended mission trips. Youth-sponsored activities include seasonal retreats, a fall carnival, and a “living nativity” at Christmastime.
Adults find an open and accepting place to explore their spiritual journey in a cross-generational environment. Adult Sunday School classes, seasonal events, Bible studies, weekly church suppers and other fellowship activities allow ample opportunities for members to come together in the love of Christ.
Together we strive to live out our mission statement:
We are a community of hope, founded in faith, fostering spiritual growth and meeting human needs by reflecting God’s love in Christ’s name.
