What kind of church is Doylestown United Methodist Church?

Although we are affiliated with the United Methodist Church, we welcome persons from all religious denominations and backgrounds into our church family. Our doors are open to all who wish to come and experience God’s unconditional love, grow in their faith, and be the hands and feet of God to those in need.

What Can I Expect in each service?

uplifting service - 9:00 am (Sanctuary and online)

Features uplifting Christian music, led by our worship team, Sounds of Faith, who create an upbeat and lively atmosphere. In addition to the music, there is a sermon based on the scripture readings for that Sunday. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.

liturgical service - 10:10 am (sanctuary and online)

Consists of responsive readings, unison prayers, scripture, and some of our favorite traditional hymns, which are enhanced by our choirs, brass ensemble, bell choirs, and pipe organ. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.

11:11 word & worship - 11:11 am (worship center and online)

Offers a relaxed worship experience that is refreshing and serene. The service is led by our worship team, Power of Grace, who create a laid-back, leave-your-problems-at-the-door coffeehouse environment. Coffee and refreshments are served. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.

What should I wear?

All of our services welcome you as you are. However, if you'd like an idea of what people wear, we're happy to provide that for you! In our Traditional Services, people tend to dress casual, while our Uplifting and 11:11 Word & Worship Services tend to be more informal. But, again, feel free to come as you are—even if that means wearing Crocs, jeans, and your favorite hoodie!

What is offered for kids on Sunday?

9:00 AM Sunday School (for kids aged preschool (three years) to Sixth Grade)

Our Sunday School is a fun, engaging, Christ-centered program offered to kids ages three (Preschool) through 6th grade, with rolling admission, so you can register at anytime during the academic year. Classes are grouped by age/grade (Preschool-K, 1st-6th grades,). Our volunteer teaching staff is background-checked and Safe Sanctuaries trained–and lots of fun, too!

Kids’ Word (during the 11:11 Word & Worship Service)

Kids' Word is our Children’s Worship Service for ages Kindergarten through sixth grade, which takes place during the 11:11 Word & Worship Service. Children enjoy beautiful music during the 11:11 Service and then depart for their own Children’s Service, where they enjoy a Bible story movie with popcorn, games and crafts.

Nursery (8:50 am – 12:15 pm every Sunday)

Our nursery is staffed every week with two adult, background-checked caregivers. Children from birth to five years old are welcome during our services.

What is offered for youth on Sunday?

fusion (9:00 am on second and fourth sundays)

Fusion is our youth Sunday School gathering, and is for all students in grades 7-12. We meet each Sunday from 9:00-9:45 AM, with the exception of Communion Sundays (the first Sunday of each month) and the third Sunday of the month. We start off in the Sanctuary to join the 9:00 AM Uplifting Service for worship. Students may sit together in a group or with their families. After a few songs, there will be an announcement for students to leave for Fusion, and then we go to The Upper Room in the Worship & Youth Center for a collaborative, hands-on learning experience. Plus, we always have hot chocolate, coffee, and donuts!!!

*This format will change in the future when we have students interested in playing instruments and leading worship in Fusion.

CONFIRMATION (10:00 am)

Confirmation is a weekly class for teenagers interested in exploring their faith, preparing to make a profession of faith, and learning more about being active members of the church. Confirmation students will attend classes from mid-September to mid-April.
