Who we are
We believe in a triune God and are awakened by God’s grace in Christ. Our calling is to trust God, embody love, and share hope in our community and beyond. Guided by our faith, we strive to live expectantly, behave generously, and embrace the spiritual vitality of faith, hope, and love.
At Park Avenue UMC, everyone has a place. For over 130 years, we’ve been a welcoming community where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to worship, grow, and serve. With a strong focus on youth, children, and intergenerational worship, we celebrate being a family of faith that learns, prays, and thrives together.
A church for all
We are an open and affirming congregation that celebrates the full participation of everyone, including the LGBTQ+ community. At Park, everyone is welcome, just as they are, to worship, grow, and serve alongside one another. We are a beautiful mosaic of people working together to trust God, love each other, and make a difference in the world.
Rooted in Faith, Driven by Love
Building Belonging and Connection
We are more than a church;
we are a family.
Our community agreements guide how we live and grow together.
Do No Harm: To ourselves, to others, and to God.
Do Good: In as many ways as I can, for as many people as I can.
Stay in Love with God: Be intentional about growing in my love for God.
These values help us create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued—a place where relationships thrive and faith deepens.
