Decatur Methodist Church

About this church

Decatur Methodist Church in Decatur, Alabama, is a Global Methodist congregation that gathers for worship on Sunday at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. in the sanctuary, with Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. The earlier service is described as smaller and more relaxed, while the 10:30 a.m. service includes a choir and traditional hymns in a more formal style. Communion is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of the month. The congregation worships in a conservative Methodist style and points to the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed as summaries of its core beliefs.

Families with children will find a nursery for ages 0-3 in Room 205, staffed by paid workers and volunteers during both services. Sunday School classes meet for kindergarten through second grade and for third through fifth grade, and children's church takes place during the 10:30 a.m. service after the second hymn. On Wednesday evenings, children's choir and classes begin at 5:45 p.m. The website also lists ministries for students and adults, Bible studies, missions, and music.

First-time visitors are asked to sign the registration pad at the end of the pew, and the church makes a donation to one of three local charities in honor of each first-time guest. Services can be watched live through a link on the website. The church is at 701 Oak Street NE; confirm times on the website before visiting.
