Community Church North Muskegon

All Are (Still) Welcome at Community

The recent international meeting of the United Methodist Church made decisions that double down against LGBTQ persons, making sure that they are not to be ordained or married in the denomination. Community has a long history as a United Methodist congregation, but we want you to know that our welcome and full inclusion of all people will never be compromised. We don't know yet how this will play out in our relation to the United Methodist Church. Things are still coming together, and there are lots of options to choose from. But this remains true: all of us were made the way we are as children of God, beloved and treasured. You belong in Community.

Kid and Teen Programs

At Community, we value kids of all ages and offer programs that encourage kids to learn about God, make good choices at home, school, and with friends, and thrive in all areas of their life. We would love to have your kids grow with us! Kids 0-3 are welcome to our secure, skilled nursery during each worship service where they will be cared for with background-checked nursery attendants, Jessica Petroski and Jessica Strong. Kids 4 years - 5th grade are welcome to come to worship, then head out together to our fun, educational program during our 9:30 worship each Sunday. They'll learn about the Bible and its teachings and life skills like: empathy, responsibility, patience, and honesty. Teens 5th-7th grade get the opportunity to sort out some hard stuff and grow their faith each Sunday night from 6-8 with Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Jennifer. Teens 8th-12th grade are preparing to make big life decisions. Let our leaders, Doug Wood and Nick Bartman, guide them with in-depth group discussions, hanging out with friends, and service projects.

CommUNITY Strong

Community UMC is committed to being commUNITY strong!! We're volunteering in our community by: reading to kids at Moon School, organizing and serving at Mission for Area People (MAP) clothing and food pantries, serving meals for Family Promise, and opening our building for AgeWell, Scouts, and the Red Cross. We believe that when we work together we are all stronger.

Summer Concert Series

In Custer Park, overlooking Muskegon Lake, come sit with the community on three Wednesday nights, and enjoy three great shows for free (though we'll pass the plate for local causes!). All shows at 7 p.m. Co-sponsored by Community Church and First Lutheran. July 10: Flexidecibel--bringing a strong blend of funky sounds, horns, real entertainment, and fun. In case of rain, head over to First Lutheran Church on Whitehall. July 17: The Oat Bran Boys--a fun, crowd-engaging acoustic mix of singalong old pop songs, country, and bluegrass. July 24: Westside Soul Surfers--always a crowd-please, a full band blowing out oldies and lots of fun.
