Grace United Methodist Church

About this church

Grace United Methodist Church in Pekin offers three weekend services with distinct styles. Saturday Chapel at 5:30 p.m. is laid-back, casually dressed, traditional in music, and includes Communion. Sunday Purpose worship at 9:00 a.m. carries the most contemporary music, while Sunday Faith worship at 11:00 a.m. leans traditional. Across the services, the church describes congregational singing as a mix of contemporary songs and ancient hymns, allowing visitors to choose with more precision than time alone.

Children can join UNITEkids, with a staffed nursery available for younger children, and students from sixth grade through high-school senior year are invited into youth ministry. Vacation Bible School and other events combine Bible lessons with music, art, games, food, and friends. A first-time guest wanting Communion or a lower-key introduction may prefer Saturday; those choosing Sunday should match the musical style to 9:00 or 11:00. Families should arrive early for nursery directions and check the current children’s or youth calendar because seasonal programs and resumption dates can change.
