Avondale United Methodist Church

About this church

Avondale United Methodist Church worships on Sundays at 10 a.m. at 500 40th Street South in east Birmingham, Alabama. The service is described as a relaxed version of traditional worship, with hymns from the United Methodist Hymnal accompanied by a pipe organ, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, prayers, and a message from the pastor. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month and on other holy days. A printed bulletin guides first-time visitors through the service, and a nursery is available for children age four and under. Worship is also streamed live on Facebook and YouTube.

Most people dress in casual or business casual clothing. The church was founded in 1887 as Avondale Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and describes a Wesleyan outlook centered on God's grace. Its mission arm, Avondale Samaritan Place, organizes service opportunities ranging from feeding individuals and families to after-school activities and helping people without homes. The website also lists choirs and music, a facilities use request form, and a stewardship page. The church office can be reached at 205-592-3739 or through the website's contact form.
