What's New

Worship Schedule

Renew at 8:30 a.m.

In Christ, all things are made new. (Revelation 21:5) God is at work in us - tending, nurturing, pruning, shaping - that we might be renewed and strengthened for witness and service in the name of Jesus Christ. Renew worship is creative, celebratory, uplifting, and informal . Glory Choir, Youth Choir, and Contemporary Choir, as well as a new “praise music team”, add to the experience. Communion is the first Sunday of each month.

Mosaic at 11:00 a.m.

Like an intricate, beautiful piece of art fashioned from mosaic tiles, Mosaic worship is a blending of deep traditions and practices of Christian worship with newer expressions of worship. This spirited-traditional worship experience includes music from the Chancel Choir, Praise Choir, Grades 6-8 Choir, bell choirs, and orchestra. Communion is the first Sunday of each month.

Third Sunday of the month at 4:00 p.m.

Interdenominational Worship Service takes place at The Pines, 325 Wilkinson Street.  The service takes place  in the Community Room.

The is sponsored by Chelsea First United Methodist Church.

Plan to attend worship weekly, as we gather to praise and honor God, and receive strength for the journey of faith!

Prayer time in the chapel

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could just step away from your jam-packed, frenzied schedule for a little while, and slip into a place where you could 'simply be'?  The Chapel now has materials waiting on a table for use by anyone seeking 'spiritual re-fueling'.

Reading the Bible With Understanding, lead by Rev. Bob Brown in the Room 2 Lower Level.  Do you sometimes have trouble understanding what a Bible passage means when you read or hear it?  Do you find yourself feeling confused, or even frustrated, when you compare different scripture passages?  Would you like to gain a better sense of what the Bible is and how to read scripture with greater understanding?  Well, bring your Bible and come together with others trying to figure out how to read the Bible with understanding.

United Methodist Social Principles, lead by

Mike Vanderspool in the Upper room.  What are the UM Church's stances on the variety of social issues that surround us and impact our lives?  Issues like the natural environment, the role of science and technology, marriage and divorce, human sexuality, abortion, racial/gender discrimination, health care, migrant workers, gambling, church/state relations, the death penalty, war and peace......... Where do the Social Principles of our church come from?  How do they relate to our UM heritage and history?  And how do UM understand the relationship of the Social Principles to how we live our lives as Christians?  The Social Principles have been described as a "prayerful, studied dialogue of faith and practice" - come and join the conversation.
