You are welcome here.

At Dobbins Memorial UMC, we believe faith is a journey—and you don’t have to walk it alone. Wherever you are in life or in your faith, there is a place for you here.

We are proud to be part of the United Methodist Church, a Christian tradition with roots going back to John Wesley in the 1700s. Wesley encouraged people to grow in their relationship with God through prayer, Scripture, small groups, worship, and caring for others. He believed that faith should make a difference in the way we live and love.

That idea still shapes who we are today.

  • At the heart of our faith is God’s grace.

    We believe God loves us just as we are—not because we have everything figured out or because we are perfect. Grace is God’s gift of love, forgiveness, and new beginnings. It meets us where we are and helps us grow into the people God calls us to be.

    At Dobbins Memorial, we hope you will experience that grace in our worship, in our community, and in the way we care for one another.

  • We believe faith is more than what happens inside the church. Following Jesus means loving our neighbors, caring for those in need, and working for a more just and compassionate world.

    That’s why we serve our community and support mission and justice work locally, regionally, and around the world. We believe that God’s love is meant to be shared.

    We also believe faith and questions can go together. As United Methodists, we value Scripture while also welcoming thoughtful conversation, learning, intellect, and modern science. You don't have to leave your questions at the door.

  • We celebrate two sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion.

    In Baptism, we celebrate God’s grace and the beginning—or reaffirmation—of a life of faith. At Communion, we gather around Christ’s table, remember Jesus, receive God’s grace, and find strength for the journey ahead.

  • Our United Methodist symbol, the Cross and Flame, reminds us of the heart of our faith. The cross represents Jesus Christ, and the flame represents the Holy Spirit.

    Together, they remind us that we are called to follow Christ, guided by the Spirit, and surrounded by God’s grace.

    We invite you to come as you are.
    Come with faith. Come with questions. Come when life is joyful, and come when life is difficult.

    There is a place for you at Dobbins Memorial UMC.

    Come experience God’s grace, grow in faith, and find a community where you can belong.
