The very first thing we will ask of you is simple: just relax! Have a cup of coffee on us. You're with friends. Don't worry about being flagged, tagged or pointed out as a "newbie." In fact we won't make you stand-up, clap or do anything you don't feel comfortable doing.
"What does a typical service look like at EUM?" Good question! We ask that same question every week. The reality is that each service has its own unique thumbprint. Check out the worshipping together link for more information on each service. However, be assured that whatever service you attend it will include high-impact music and a relevant biblical message. We are willing to take significant risks to communicate God’s word. EUM is a multi-generational church utilizing multi-sensory elements to contextualize without compromising the message of Christ. We welcome individuals of every age and race. The entire service usually runs about an hour. By the way, we will also serve communion once a month at all our services.

Our church has made a big commitment to helping people discover their purpose in life and find ways to live it out. The easiest way to do that is to contact EUM's Discipleship Ministry Coordinator, Susan O'Dell. Her job is to help you connect with God and us.

Yes. EUM Christian Preschool is a ministry of EUM Church. It is operated under the umbrella of the church. Staff, budgeting and curriculum are overseen by the church. However, the preschool is predominately a self-supporting ministry, meaning that tuition and fees are used directly by the preschool program. The church offsets certain costs of operating the preschool in order to keep our tuition and fees as low as possible. For more information, see EUM Christian Preschool.

We believe that there is no one right way to worship God. Just as people have different tastes in food, different clothing styles and music preferences, we have different ways of relating to God. We believe by offering different styles of worship we can connect with more people and effectively reach them for Christ. For more information, see "Worshipping Together."
