Worship at Northwest UMC
In-Person Worship
Year round we have 2 in-person worship services on Sunday at 9:30a.m. in the Sanctuary and 11:00a.m. in the Ministry Center. Additionally, in the summer, we have an outdoor service at 8:15 a.m. Here is more information about each service:
The 9:30 Traditional Service is held in the Sanctuary, located to the right when you enter the main doors of the church. Greeters and ushers will be available to guide you each step of the way. The service includes hymns led by either the choir or a song leader, prayers, scripture and a message. Nursery and Kids Small Groups are available.
The 11:00 Gathering Service is held in the Ministry Center, located to the left when you enter the main doors of the church. As with the 9:30 service, there are greeters and ushers to guide you as you arrive. This service has a more contemporary feel with music led by the praise band. It also includes prayers, scripture and a message. Nursery and Kids Small Groups are available.
Chapel in the Woods worship is held at 8:15 a.m. on Sunday mornings. It begins each summer on the Sunday before Memorial Day and ends the Sunday before Labor Day. This service features the same message as our indoor services, has music led by a song leader, and includes communion each Sunday. In the event of inclement weather, the service is moved into the Sanctuary.

Worship Spaces
On our church property, we have three distinct worship spaces:
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is a round room with traditional pews. Our 9:30a.m. Traditional Service is held in this space. The Sanctuary seats up to 300 people. The Sanctuary is located to the right when you enter through the main doors. You will follow the round hallway around to the back to enter the main doors of the Sanctuary.
The Ministry Center
The Ministry Center is multipurpose space that is used for our 11:00a.m. Gathering Service, as well as for a number of ministries. It is a flexible space that can be rearranged depending as needed. The Ministry Center is located to the left when you enter the main doors of the church.
Chapel in the Woods
Built in 1988 as an Eagle Scout project, the Chapel in the Woods is our third worship space. This beautiful outdoor sanctuary is located on the north end of the church property and also includes a Memorial Garden and prayer path. The Chapel in the Woods was refreshed in 2020. We hold our 8:15a.m. worship service in this space from Memorial Day – Labor Day. It is also a beautiful space for weddings.
