    If This is Your First Time

    Come As You Are

    There is no dress code at GUMC!  Some of us will be in jeans and tees, others will be a bit more dressy, but all styles show up and all are perfectly appropriate!

    ​

    There is Plenty of Parking

    Although you may not see it from the street, there is a large parking area behind the church building.  There are both visitor parking and handicapped spaces located near the entrance where there is also a covered carport for rainy days.

    ​

    Bring Family or Friends

    Classes and groups at 9 am are for all ages and stages.  Worship at 10 am is open, informal, and child-friendly. If needed, there is a convenient cry room for parents who seek a quiet space to comfort a distressed child.  

    ​

    How Long Does it Last?

    Classes meet for 45 minutes prior to worship.  Worship normally lasts approximately 50 minutes

    ​

    Are Guests Required to Stand or Wear a Visitor Tag?

    No, although we do hope you will sign our registration and let us know you were with us.  It would be a joy to welcome you personally!

    ​

    Coffee is Served

    Hot coffee and sometimes pastries are served in the foyer and are welcomed in the sanctuary where there are tables provided as well as comfortable sanctuary seating.

    ​

    Music is Blended

    Both traditional hymns and contemporary songs are sung on Sundays.
