Serving others (House of Service)
Worshipping God (House of Worship) and
Praying Always (House of Prayer)
 
 
 
Welcome! If you are looking for a church home, we offer a warm invitation to consider joining our church family. We strive to meet the individual needs of people and offer the opportunity to become actively involved in the life of the church. Membership is open to all people who wish to share in the worship of God and strive to live like Jesus taught us to live, loving God and our neighbor.
 
A Little About Our Worship: Worship at Concord is contemporary in styling and ever changing to meet the needs of the community we serve. That doesn not mean we change the message or leave behind our rich heritage. We teach from the Bible, using Jesus as our prime example of love-based living. We offer different forms of prayer, music, praise, and thanksgiving in each of our worship gatherings. We join in the Sacrament of Holy Communion at least once a month and encourage attendees to make a commitment to God by being Baptized by the Spirit and Water. We Baptize by sprinkling or pouring onsite, or immersion in a local body of water. We believe worshipping God is an integral element in our daily walk to become all that God intends us to become. We are excited about you joining us on this journey!!!

Main Street just south of the light downtown.  Need to know more?  Email us at MeetAFriend@concordumc.net
