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.

PRAISE GOD WE PAID OFF THE MORTGAGE! - WHAT'S NEXT?
Who: Members of McKendree UMC
What: The Leadership Council invites you to join us in the Fellowship Hall for Pizza and Conversation as we prayerfully discern what God is calling McKendree to in this next season.
Why: We paid off the mortgage and then at our Mortgage Burning celebration, Bishop Dease posed this powerful question, “What’s Next?”. Now, we have the chance to answer it together.
This is a pivotal moment for our church family—an opportunity to dream, to listen, and to step forward in faith into all that God intends for us. Your voice matters, and we want everyone to be part of this conversation.
Come hungry for pizza, and for all that God has in store for McKendree!
