Petoskey United Methodist Church

Adults

The vision of the Petoskey United Methodist Church is "Christ-centered maturity for every individual." Picture a mature tree: it first starts its journey of life as a seed planted in the ground. Then it is watered and nourished and even pruned to grow in health. And finally it reaches a stage where it bears fruit in maturity, making it possible for new seeds to be planted and new life to grow. So it with all of us! Therefore the Petoskey UMC offers many different ways that seeds of faith are planted through outreach, personal growth is encouraged through fellowship and study, and fruit is celebrated through service and leadership.

Sunday School
Sunday School for all ages is held from 10:00-10:45 a.m. between the first and second worship services. Nursery for infants to age three is also provided at that time. Kindergarten through high school, as well as adult, classes explore the Bible and faith in everyday life through intentional study. Adult classes cover a wide variety of options, including book discussions, topics such as marriage and parenting, as well as various Bible studies.

Church Dinners
True to long-standing tradition, the church family joins for a time of fun, food and fellowship every Wednesday night during the school year at 6:00 p.m. The main entree is prepared by different volunteers every week while everyone else brings a side-dish, salad or dessert. Silverware, plates and cups are provided. Contributions of around $2 per person help cover the entree costs, and - of course - every helping hand is welcome in clean-up. Come join the family!

Prime Timers
If you are a retired person, then Prime Timers welcomes you! We have reached the prime of our lives. We meet once a month for lunch and make plans to go someplace special several times throughout the year. We also serve the shut-ins and elderly in our church and community. For an updated schedule visit the Classes and Events page.

Women of Grace Retreat
Each fall the women of our church get together for renewal, refreshment and to grow in the grace of Jesus Christ.  These retreats are full of worship, guest speakers, testimonies, small groups, and fellowship.  All women of any church or denomination are welcome to come.

United Methodist Women
The United Methodist Women meet to glorify God and spread the Word. We gather in various small group circles for fellowship and Bible study, and come together for regular luncheons throughout the year. Our unique focus is missions, with monetary support going toward various local and national projects. For updates on our upcoming meetings, please call the church. Women of all ages and walks of life are welcome to join us.  For more information about the United Methodist Woman, visit the international web site.
