Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church

Welcome to McKendree United Methodist Church, where every single person matters, period. We invite people from all walks of life and hope they feel welcomed. We trust that when we worship together, serve together, pray together, eat together, and do life together that God is present. That changes everything!

Acolytes remind us that the light of Christ is present when we gather.

Pentecost commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples after His Ascension, it is held on the seventh Sunday after Easter. In honor of this, it is tradition to wear flame colors to church to signify the presence of the Holy Spirit in our community and our unity in Christ. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.
