Welcome

September 2026

September 27th is a special day at College UMC. Following the worship service, we will adjourn to Mary’s River Park where we will witness the baptism (in the river) of one of our members. After that momentous event, we will join together for a celebration potluck in the picnic shelter. You are welcome to join us!

We welcome you to the College United Methodist Church website. Our congregation is friendly, the pews are plentiful and comfortable. We invite you to worship with us, either in person or on-line (link below). We don’t have a lot of young people at this time, but we’re working on it! This is a busy church with two schools operating within the building, AA meetings, music practice, women’s weekly social gathering, a sewing group, and a meal every Tuesday night in cooperation with other area churches (free to the public). Feel free to choose an activity that matches your interests, or step our of your comfort zone and choose something different!

Located in the heart of Philomath, Oregon, we are a small congregation committed to learning about and making disciples of Jesus Christ. We offer opportunities for all to fully participate in the life of the church, opportunities we look forward to expanding. Everyone is welcome to worship here!

Sunday School: Resumes when school begins in September (date TBD)
Worship Service: 10:00am in the Sanctuary

We invite you to worship and to be in fellowship with us! Our live stream worship service is another option if you can’t make it to the sanctuary. We do appreciate your patience when we have a glitch!

Come and check us out! You’ll be glad you did and so will we.
