In-person and Online Services Every Week
Join us for in-person services every Sunday morning at 10:30am.
At Magnolia UMC, we are a small, inclusive, welcoming community centered on our Love of Christ and striving to be Christ's love and light right here in Magnolia. We come from all ages and backgrounds, striving to lead all who worship with us towards a deeper experience of God's love. We believe each person is beloved of God, created purposefully by God just as they are, and is able to serve others as a minister of God's love wherever they are: at work, at home, and in their neighborhood. We strive in all we do to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly."
Pre-recorded services are available each Sunday morning by 8am, here.

MUMC is Proud to be a Reconciling Congregation
As a Reconciling Congregation, we at MUMC celebrate God’s gift of diversity and value the wholeness made possible in community equally shared and shepherded by all. We welcome and affirm people of every gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation, who are also of every age, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability, level of education, and family structure, and of every economic, immigration, marital, and social status, and so much more. We acknowledge that we live in a world of profound social, economic, and political inequities. As followers of Jesus, we commit ourselves to the pursuit of justice and pledge to stand in solidarity with all who are marginalized and oppressed.
Praise God for the great progress at the UMC General Conference this year; particularly regarding the removal of all language restricting LGBTQ+ ordination and marriage. Praise God for the removal of these harmful, hateful, and prejudiced policies. We are thrilled to move forward in love and service to all.

Serving Pie and Conversation at Interbay Tiny House Village. Thursdays at 2pm.
“Pie and Conversation” is a weekly opportunity to serve some of our unhoused neighbors, to talk together, and to learn from one-another, organized by Magnolia United Methodist Church, in partnership with the Magnolia Ecumenical Group.
Living here in Magnolia, we are so fortunate to have the Interbay Tiny House Village located nearby. This community, managed by the Low-Income Housing Institute (LIHI), provides secure housing, and administers a range of supportive service programs, assisting unhoused individuals as they gain the self-sufficiency to move into independent housing. Each Thursday, from 2-3:30pm, we visit the village, serving pie, coffee, and tea, and simply hanging out with our neighbors. We are so thankful for our friends at Petit Pierre Bakery, who are providing the pies for this endeavor at a greatly discounted price. If you ever want to join with us on a visit, just let us know at contactmumc@gmail.com.
