Asbury United Methodist Church

About this church

Asbury United Methodist Church gives Little Rock worshipers two distinct Sunday options. Sanctuary Worship at 9 a.m. uses hymns, historic creeds, responsive readings, choir, and preaching in a formal setting. Sunday School follows from 10 to 10:45, and LAUNCH Worship begins at 11 with a praise band, contemporary songs, multimedia, and practical engagement with Scripture. Both services can be watched online. Parking is available north and west of the building, and greeters help people choose the correct entrance and worship space.

Asbury welcomes people across faiths, races, and creeds and practices an open Communion table; participation does not require United Methodist membership. The church recognizes prior baptisms and offers baptismal renewal rather than requiring rebaptism. Its commitments include prayer, presence, giving, service, and witness. Local ministries put “love in action” through a food and diaper pantry, stitching ministry, prison ministry, Canvas Community, and Ozark Mission Project. The congregation began in 1888 as a mission in an old grocery store and moved west with Little Rock, opening its present Napa Valley Drive facilities in 1982. Visitors should ask about children's class placement, nursery procedures, accessibility accommodations, and Communion frequency.
