NEW THIS YEAR — Come preview our MODERN WORSHIP SERVICE
You're invited to a fresh, come-as-you-are gathering designed especially for families, young adults, and children (but ALL are welcome!). We’ll experience inspiring music from our Modern Worship Band and a message that connects faith to everyday life. This service also features our Prayground — a special space where little ones can feel right at home during worship. Whether you’re new to church, returning after time away, or simply looking for a different way to worship this season, you’ll find a warm and welcoming place here. 

Preview Services being held: December 14 & January 11 - Feb 8

Be part of the beginning! We’re building toward the official launch of our Modern Worship Service in early February. Come see what’s taking shape — and help us create a vibrant new worship community at WUMC!

Sundays at 9:30 AM | Fellowship Hall

Looking for a place to explore faith in a fresh, meaningful way?
At Williamsburg United Methodist Church, we’re excited to introduce a new Modern Worship Service coming in early 2026 — designed for today’s families, young adults, and anyone seeking a relaxed, authentic way to connect with God and community.

This 9:30 a.m. gathering will feature:

  • Live music led by a full band (guitar, drums, piano, and more)
  • Weekly Communion open to all
  • A casual, family-friendly atmosphere where everyone belongs

Children will have a special place in worship through our Prayer Ground — a cozy area with small tables and quiet activities to help little ones feel included and engaged during the service.

No matter your background or where you are on your faith journey, you’ll find a welcoming place here to belong, grow, and experience God’s love in new ways.

TRADITIONAL Worship

Sunday Mornings 8:15am & 11:00am | Sanctuary

Experience the reverence and beauty of traditional worship in our Sanctuary. Following the historic Methodist order of service, our traditional worship includes hymns, prayers, Scripture readings, Communion on the first Sunday of each month, and a sermon delivered by our clergy. This service is perfect for those who find depth and meaning in time-honored rituals and liturgy.
