Community United Methodist Church has been serving the community of Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County in Colorado for over 100 years. The original church was built in 1897 and the current facility was constructed in 1968 with an education wing and chapel added in 1986. In 2009 the sanctuary building was remodeled, including a new roof and facade on the front of the church. A bell tower similar to that of the original church was added.
The purpose of the Community United Methodist Church is to celebrate in, communicate about, and witness to the Love of Christ in our church, community and world. Our services are planned to provide a special worship experience to everyone. The early service is non-traditional, offering contemporary music, while the late service has a more traditional format. with music shared by our chancel choir.
Sunday School classes meet weekly with two adult classes offered with a variety of subjects and formats. Bible Study courses are held several times throughout the year.
Adult Sunday School Classes
The Seeker's Sunday School class meets in Karger Hall from 9:30 to 10:30 Sunday morning.
GOING HOME - JESUS AND BUDDHA AS BROTHERS
In this book, Jesus and Buddha share a conversation about prayer and ritual and renewal, and about where such concepts as resurrection and the practice of mindfulness converge. In this unique way, Thich Nhat Hanh shows the brotherhood between Jesus and Buddha-- and in the process shows how we can take their wisdom into the world with us.
Winsome Adult Sunday School Class meets in the Church Library on Sundays at 9:30AM.
The Fall 2023 Bible Study is a series entitled “God Provides”, a study of God as the sustainer of our physical and spiritual needs. September focuses on the concept of “food”, October is “water” and November is “shelter”; the lessons will unpack these concepts and help us to encounter the God who provides, as well as challenging us to join in God’s life-giving work and in welcoming others to the table in God’s house.
The class is led by Malcolm Rodger and is interesting, enlightening, and interactive. The study book is available at the church office or can be picked up in the class.
“I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
Matthew 25:36
Praying: Entrust us again with the gospel of Jesus Christ, that we may love you with all our being and our neighbors as ourselves. We would risk opposition to serve you faithfully. We want to identify with the poor and oppressed for whom you have special compassion. Guide us by your word to share ourselves, along with your good news. Amen.
