Wrightsville United Methodist Church: A Place of Worship and Community
Wrightsville United Methodist Church (UMC) is a vibrant and welcoming community located in the heart of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. As a member of the United Methodist denomination, Wrightsville UMC is committed to spreading the love and teachings of Jesus Christ through worship services, Sunday School classes, youth groups, and various outreach programs.
At Wrightsville UMC, we believe that everyone is welcome in God's house. Whether you are a lifelong Christian or just starting to explore your faith journey, our doors are open to you. Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space where people can come together to worship God, grow in their faith, and serve their community.
Worship Services
Our weekly worship services are at the heart of our church community. We offer two traditional services on Sunday mornings at 8:30 am and 11:00 am. Our services include hymns led by our choir or organist as well as scripture readings from both the Old Testament and New Testament.
In addition to our traditional services, we also offer contemporary worship experiences on Sunday evenings at 5:00 pm. These services feature modern music led by our praise band along with relevant messages that speak directly to today's world.
Sunday School
We believe that learning about God's word should be an ongoing process for people of all ages. That's why we offer Sunday School classes for children through adults every Sunday morning from 9:45 am -10:45 am.
Our children's ministry program includes age-appropriate lessons that teach kids about God's love while also providing opportunities for them to make new friends and have fun together.
For adults seeking deeper spiritual growth opportunities beyond regular church attendance or Bible study groups there are several options available including small group studies focused on specific topics such as prayer or discipleship training sessions designed specifically for those who want more in-depth knowledge about their faith.
Youth Groups
Our youth groups are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for teenagers to explore their faith, build relationships with peers, and have fun. We offer two separate groups: one for middle school students and another for high school students.
Our youth ministry program includes weekly meetings where teens can participate in games, discussions, and Bible studies. We also offer retreats, mission trips, and other special events throughout the year that allow our young people to grow in their faith while also having fun together.
Outreach Programs
At Wrightsville UMC we believe that serving others is an essential part of living out our faith. That's why we offer several outreach programs designed to help those in need both locally and globally.
One of our most significant outreach programs is our food pantry which provides groceries to families struggling with food insecurity in the Wilmington area. We also partner with local organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the Salvation Army on various projects throughout the year.
In addition to local outreach efforts, we also support global missions through partnerships with organizations such as UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) which provides disaster relief services around the world.
