Welcome!
Planning Your First Visit? We’re Glad You’re Here.
We know visiting a new church can feel like a big step. Gretna United Methodist Church is a welcoming, diverse church in Gretna, Louisiana, just minutes from New Orleans. We want to make your first visit simple, comfortable, and meaningful from the moment you arrive.
You don’t have to have everything figured out. We’re imperfect people simply doing life together. We’d love for you to come and be part of that this Sunday.
--Pastor Marissa Horvath
