Then CUMC is the place for YOU!
First Time Visitor? Welcome!
You will find a beautiful sanctuary filled with friendly, welcoming Christians dressed casually and happy to be in the house of the Lord. Our music is a mixture of traditional hymns and more contemporary praise songs, accompanied by both piano and organ. While we practice the traditions of the United Methodist Church, our worship service is informal.
Our congregation consists of Christians of all ages, educational levels, and professions. On any given pew you will find those whose families were among the founders of CUMC more than 100 years ago seated next to those who have moved into the area in the past few years. As one newer member said, "We visited several churches, but the way that we were welcomed at Collinsville UMC made the decision easy. We have never attended a friendlier, more caring church."
Our members and attendees vary from long-time Methodists to former Baptists, Catholics, Episcopalians, and Presbyterians to brand-new Christians with no denominational ties to those who are simply searching for community, hope, purpose, forgiveness, and unconditional love.
What You Can Expect In our worship services: CUMC's Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 AM. As a visitor or regular attendee, you will be greeted at the door and welcomed warmly to the service. We are truly glad to have you join us. At no time are visitors singled out or asked to identify themselves publicly. We want you to be comfortable in our midst.
You will find the congregation dressed casually. The atmosphere of our service is reverant and worshipful without being stuffy or intimidating.
Our music ministry mixes traditional hymns with more contemporary praise choruses, and our talented members share their talents freely through choir specials, solos and duets.
Our prayer ministry involves intercession for the concerns of the congregation, the community, and our world as well as gratitude to God for our abundant blessings. At the close of each service, the altar rail is open for any who wish to kneel and pray privately or with the pastor for individual concerns.
Children are a special part of our worship service. Young children are welcome in our services, but there is a well-equipped nursery available as well.
Bro. Ron's sermons are Biblically based with real-world application to the issues of 21st century life. Filled with inspiring stories and practical examples, each sermon is thought-provoking and provides the congregation with opportunities to apply the message to their daily experiences.
Holy Communion is observed on the 1st Sunday of each month.
In our Church School classes: CUMC offers Church School classes for all ages. The Toddler class meets in the lower level adjoining the Fellowship Hall and provides opportunities for little ones to learn about God as they play and hear the stories of the Bible. Classes for elementary children, youth, and young adults meet on the main floor in the classrooms behind the sanctuary. Adults meet in the Fellowship Hall on the lower level. Materials used in these classes are selected by the teacher and attendees to increase Biblical knowledge and to address Biblical solutions to everyday concerns. Visitors are always welcome!
