WHY WE care
Williamsburg UMC has a long tradition of nurturing Christian faith through worship, local and global outreach, music education, family and children programming, caregiver support, and partnerships with local organizations for nearly 250 years. Our legacy touches thousands of individuals: members, friends, families, and groups in the Williamsburg community who are welcomed into our church home weekly. We strive to be the place where people congregate to do God’s work.
Building on Our Legacy is the WUMC Capital Campaign designed around a three- year commitment to fund projects that will repair significant structural issues in the church as well as enhance the quality of our fellowship, worship, and program experiences. Critical and essential renovations, as well as ongoing maintenance projects, to our building are estimated at $1,800,000.
Revitalizing Our Legacy: A Virtual Tour of Our Renewed Spaces
In 2023, we celebrated the 60th anniversary of our cherished building and took time to reflect on the incredible years of fellowship, faith, and service it has witnessed. Like the bonds we forge within our congregation, our building holds a legacy of its own – one that's nurtured the seeds of missions, embraced countless gatherings, and echoed with the harmonious notes of worship. It stands as a testament to our commitment to each other, our community, and the world beyond. Through thoughtful repairs, we've revived our hallways and sanctuary with fresh paint. Our sanctuary, stairwells and outside areas now shine with new lighting. The steeple, a symbol of our welcome, has been lovingly restored. And there’s so much more!
We invite you to experience the transformation firsthand. Watch the video above to embark on a virtual tour led by Russ Henke, Board of Trustees. Let's celebrate the impact of your support together!
Capital Campaign GIve Plan
Our Capital Campaign is the cornerstone of ensuring the enduring vitality and sanctity of our church's physical infrastructure. Through the generous support of our community, these funds fuel essential projects that safeguard and enhance our sacred space, enabling it to remain a beacon of worship, service, and fellowship for generations to come. Capital Campaign pledges represent a commitment above and beyond our annual giving, reflecting our shared dedication to the enduring legacy of Williamsburg United Methodist Church.
As stewards of this collective vision, we've embraced a Three-year Plan of Giving, providing structure and clarity to our fundraising efforts. Whether you choose to contribute weekly, monthly, or annually, your participation is vital in shaping the future of our beloved church.
