Walking into a large church can feel overwhelming. Finding a Sunday School class, meeting ministry leaders, or discovering where to serve isn't always easy, especially when you're new. That's why Discover Christ Church is about more than learning how to become a member. It's about helping people find a place to belong.
In 2026, Christ Methodist Church introduced a new, streamlined Sunday morning format for Discover Christ Church, bringing prospective members together with pastors and ministry directors for a focused, welcoming conversation about who we are, what we believe, and how we live out our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
The new format has created meaningful opportunities for personal connection. Participants have been able to ask questions, get to know church leadership, and explore ways to become involved in the life of our congregation. Throughout the year, many attendees have taken the additional step of formally committing to membership at Christ Methodist Church.
But the impact extends beyond membership itself. Attendees have shared how valuable it was to sit across the table from pastors and ministry leaders, building relationships that made a large church feel more personal and welcoming. Others have expressed excitement about joining Sunday School classes and finding opportunities to serve.
At Christ Methodist Church, being an Authentic Friend means building meaningful relationships and walking alongside one another in faith. Discover Christ Church helps create those connections, reminding us that belonging to a church family isn't simply about attending on Sundays. It's about growing together, serving together, and becoming more fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
We're grateful for every person who has taken that next step and for the pastors and ministry leaders who help make Christ Methodist Church feel like home.
