I'm New Here
Visiting a church for the first time can feel like a big step. Here is what you need to know before Sunday.
It would be our pleasure to have you come and worship with us at Laingsburg United Methodist Church. We are continually excited about all that has happened, and all that is still happening here at Laingsburg UMC, and we trust that each day God will present us with new ways to share, know, and explore God's love with and for everyone.
Your First Sunday at a Glance
- Service time: Sundays at 10:30 am (arriving 10–15 minutes early gives you time to settle in)
- Address: 210 N. Crum Street, Laingsburg, MI 48848
- Can't make it in person? Watch live on Facebook
- Kids: Children of all ages are welcome in worship, with a "prayground" in the sanctuary
We Understand...
We understand that visiting a new church for the first time can be a little nerve-racking and intimidating. Please be assured that at no time will you be asked to stand and be recognized as a visitor. We simply want you to feel relaxed, at home, and most importantly able to worship, pray, and experience God and church as you're comfortable.
Come as you are. There is no dress code; you will see people in everything from jeans to their Sunday best. After the service, you are welcome to stay for coffee and conversation, or to slip out quietly if that is more comfortable for you on your first visit.
