How do we worship at CUMC?
We believe that true worship should be an encounter with God. Worship is not a consumer event but something for everybody to participate in.

How often do we have Communion? Who can participate?
We have communion the first of weekend of every month. All are welcome to participate – regardless of whether you are a member or a regular attendee of CUMC. Children are welcome too! Communion is served each Sunday at the 8:00 a.m. worship.

How should I dress?
CUMC is a “come as you are” church.  Jeans or ties are equally welcome.
