Asbury United Methodist Church

About this church

Asbury United Methodist Church worships Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 90 Church Avenue in the Forestville section of Bristol, with a simultaneous Facebook livestream. Weekly Sunday School classes meet during the service, giving households one arrival time for adult worship and children’s formation. The church also opens its sanctuary Wednesdays from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for silence, solitude, prayer, and rest; the official page notes that this practice resumes September 9.

Youth in eighth grade and above may enter a confirmation process that explores the faith connected to baptism. Participants meet every other week for several months, combining study with community service, field trips, and visits to other faith communities before publicly affirming their baptismal vows. Asbury marked 170 years of ministry from 1855 to 2025, placing those current programs within a long Forestville history. Other published ministries include a teddy-bear project, backpack support, men’s fellowship, and informal opportunities to meet the pastor. For a prospective visitor, the clearest picture is an established Methodist congregation with one Sunday service, children learning at the same hour, online access, a structured path for adolescent confirmation, and a midweek sanctuary intentionally available without a programmed service.
