Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church
Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church, where every single person matters, period. We invite people from all walks of life and hope they feel welcomed. We trust that when we worship together, serve together, pray together, eat together, and do life together that God is present. That changes everything!
Acolytes remind us that the light of Christ is present when we gather.

As you come forward for Holy Communion, you are invited to light additional candles and remember others through whom the light of Christ shined and touched your life.
