WHO WE ARE

Simple Worship is a new worshiping community of Arborlawn United Methodist Church where the depth of God’s love is made simple for all.

Are you exploring faith for the first time or thinking about returning to church after a long time away? You are invited to Simple Worship where we won’t make assumptions about what you already know or have experienced.

Are you seeking a worship experience for your family? You are invited to Simple Worship where you can be sure your children will be valued and included.

 Have you been active in church your whole life? You are invited to Simple Worship where you might be rejuvenated by a fresh approach to faith and worship that strips away the complicated and accentuates the necessary.

WHAT TO EXPECT

In Simple Worship you can expect a welcoming, authentic, casual environment where you will know when you walk through our doors that you are wanted. The worship service will feature acoustic music pulled from our hymnbook, contemporary songs of the church, as well as popular songs that reveal a loving God who is for you. This service will feature preaching from our pastors, Chris, Christie, and Nick.

Simple Worship places a special emphasis on including children fully in our worship of God. You will find “praygrounds” in our worship space equipped with soft toys for the most playful among us as well as child friendly snacks, a children’s song, a children’s lesson, a memorization verse, and a word of the day all designed to engaage children throughout the service.

Simple Worship takes place at 8:30 am in the Sanctuary. Come dressed comfortably and enter through the main doors on our lower level into the large, open space we call the lower commons. There you will be greeted warmly and offered coffee and other refreshments before our service and as it is beginning. If you come a little early you can enjoy getting to know our pastors and others in the community. The service will seek to end by 9:30 am.
