Jonesboro United Methodist Church

Know Christ; Make Christ Known

At Jonesboro UMC, our hearts, minds, and doors are open to all who seek to know God. Our focus on local missions is driven by a commitment to service and the opportunity to meet God in the lives of those we serve. Our church is big enough to make a positive impact in the community, yet small enough to foster meaningful relationships with each individual.

Connect with us

10:00am every Sunday

JOIN US TO WORSHIP AND SERVE THE LIVING GOD

We have evolved from having a contemporary and a traditional service every Sunday, to having one service with the whole body every Sunday. Valuing both, we alternate between the two.

We rejoice in the noises of all God’s children, and also offer a staffed nursery during every service.

Please come as you feel comfortable. Most of us dress about like we would for work.

Worship

God’s mighty acts for us are worthy of praise. Be formed by the One who Sets Us Free every Sunday at 10:00am.

Community Meal

Every Wednesday at 5:30, meet for a potluck with your church family.

Morning Prayer Meeting

Every Tuesday at 8:00am, join with a small group to pray for ourselves, our loved ones, and the world.

YOU ARE WELCOME

The United Methodist Church

The United Methodist Church welcomes all, regardless of race, class, gender, orientation, ability, or status to come as you are and experience the welcome of Jesus. Not only do we welcome you but we are certain that the kingdom of God is closer because you are here.

In the UMC, our mission is: Love Boldly, Serve Joyfully, Lead Courageously.
