If you are looking for a church that tries to live out its name "Community", you have found one.!Whether you are family of nine or a family of one, Community UMC welcomes you! We are a diverse people that share common values and beliefs that are grounded in  Biblical tradition!

Community United Methodist Church is a vibrant, growing, healthy congregation with a core commitment to grow Christian Community. The church began in the middle of Muskegon's worst lumber strike and on the heels of a presidential assassination in 1881 by a group of Christians who fervently believed that Jesus Christ would make a difference. The first outreach of the congregation was teaching the children of immigrant lumber jacks to read the scripture.

Today this vital church has an active and varied year round ministry that has a local heart and a global reach and involves all ages and stages of life. Congregational strengths are missions, music, preaching, fellowship, Christian Education, Youth Ministry, and hands on community involvement. The church is home to well established pre-school and Scouting programs.

The congregation's current pastor, Rev. Bob Lynch was appointed to CUMC in June 2006. Rev. Lynch brings over 25 years of diverse pastoral ministry to Community UMC. This is reflected in Rev. Lynch's motto, "We are precious children of God, called together to love, follow and serve."
