Welcome to Manchester United Methodist Church!

We are an ever-growing community of Christ followers, gathering around a table open to all. Rooted in our mission to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world, we are transformed by God’s grace to fully Love God and Love Neighbor.

We celebrate the diversity of God’s people—of every age, race, background, ability, identity, and life experience—and welcome everyone to join us in worship, service, and community.

Guided by our Rule of Discipleship, we live out our faith through acts of compassion, justice, worship, and devotion, making a difference in our church and the world.

Since 1826, Manchester UMC has been a place to grow in faith, experience God’s love, and be part of a community that transforms lives.
