How do you describe a church?  Well, we have a Sanctuary, a Fellowship Hall, and even a bell tower.  A church is not a building.  A church is a group of people coming together to worship our Lord & Savior, to be the family of God, and the body of Christ.  These ideals describe more closely what a church is, and more to the point, what the LeRoy United Methodist Church is all about.

Worship here is done in a blended style using both contemporary worship music and traditional hymns in a way that works for everyone.  We also come together during our service to declare our being united under God, as we sing the song, “The Family of God.”  Our acts of service and outreach done for our community come out of understanding of what it means to be a part of the body of Christ, and that we are the hands and feet of Jesus to LeRoy and beyond.

If there was one way to describe this community of believers it would be that we are a family church.  Not that we are all related to one another, but that we come together to form a wonderful unified group of committed Christians.  Even though we are a “family” it’s not to the exclusion of visitors and newcomers, we just seek to make all comfortable to worship God together.  If we were down south we’d be saying “ya’ll come on in”. We invite you to stop in and worship with us some Sunday, we would love to have you.

We are also bigger than you know. The United Methodist Churches of LeRoy and Luther were linked to form Pine River Parish in 1966. One pastor shepherds the entire parish and conducts their two consecutive Sunday morning worship services. Each of these churches have observed their centennials and are known for being vital forces serving God in their communities. LeRoy recently celebrated it’s 140th Anniversary and is glad to continue to serve the community. 

God’s peace to you and yours!
