What is your worship service like?

We have one worship service at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings. You can join us in person or online via our livestream. Weekly recordings are also made available later in the afternoon.

During the service, the pastor will offer a lesson (or sermon) based on a text from the Bible and their reflections on current events.

We will sing a variety of music from traditional hymns or more contemporary pieces of music, depending on the week.

Children & Youth Groups

Sunday morning childcare for infants and preschoolers through age 5 is offered by our trained staff in our Nursery.

Other children and youth ages 5-18 are welcome to attend our F3: Faith, Fun, & Focus class during worship.

For more info on these classes visit our Children’s Groups page.

Your little ones are also welcome to remain in the sanctuary with us for the duration of the service—see an Usher if they would like a drawing pad or fidget toy.

Additionally, we do have two Youth Group classes that meet outside of service time (check out our Youth Group page for more info on those groups).

If you wish, you can fill out our children’s group registration forms ahead of time, or you can do so on your first visit!

Will I have to say anything; sign anything? 

While you will be greeted and welcomed one-on-one, you won’t be put on the spot or publicly embarrassed. A Connection Card will be in your bulletin (a paper handout outlining the service) where you can give us as much or as little information as you’d like.

What should I wear?

We invite you to come as you are, whether you are visiting for the first time or the hundredth. Casual or more formal: you decide. We want you to feel at home!

Can I participate in Communion?

If you happen to join us on a Sunday when we are participating in communion, know that at Puyallup UMC, communion is open to all who want to take part!

Feel free to file out with the others in your pew toward the center aisle, receive the bread and grape juice, and consume it as you take the side aisle back to your seat.

Are your Facilities Handicapped Accessible?

Yes! The entire church is one level and our restrooms are accessible to all.

Am I going to be expected to give money?

Absolutely not! We all give in a variety of ways; some through our prayers, presence, gifts, service, or witness. 

During each service, there is a time to worship God through the giving of tithes and offerings. This is an act of worship for our members and friends, allowing them to share in the church's ministry to the community of Puyallup and the world. As a guest, please do not feel any pressure or obligation to give.
