About ACUMC


Who are we? 
Andrew Chapel United Methodist Church is a growing and vibrant congregation rooted in the traditions and sanctity of the Christian faith.  Our pews are often filled to the point of overflowing, but we consider that a sign that God is truly at work in our community.

We are a diverse group that worships in a building steeped in Methodist history. Our church dates back to 1845, and upon entering our doors you will feel the love of all the generations that have worshiped in this place. But it is not our chapel walls that define us as a congregation. Instead, it is the love of God and the desire to bring Him glory and praise through our daily actions and interactions within our community that make our church unique.

We have recently completed an addition to our facility.  This new addition allows us to better serve our current congregation and meet the needs of our growing community. We hope you will come and visit us and share in the experience of worshiping our Lord.
