Woodland United Methodist Church

About this church

Woodland United Methodist Church worships Sundays at 11:00 a.m. in Wichita and streams the service on Facebook. A typical gathering includes a warm welcome, prayer, responsive reading, older hymns and newer favorites, and a message intended to be both encouraging and challenging. The church's “come as you are” invitation is backed by a detailed inclusion statement welcoming participation across age, race, gender, economic situation, family status, sexual orientation, ability, and social standing. The sanctuary is in the building's southwest corner, helping first-time guests orient themselves on arrival.

Children take visible roles as acolytes and join a children's moment near the beginning of worship. Afterward, they may move to Children's Church or remain with their families. Woodland summarizes its mission as being rooted in Christ, surrounded by love, and moved to service. That language continues a Wichita ministry story dating to 1909, when the congregation began as Woodland Methodist Episcopal Church. The office is reached through the west entrance on Payne Street, using the glass double doors nearest the parking lot. For visitors, the combination of practical entrance guidance, inclusive Methodist identity, intergenerational worship, and livestream access makes the first Sunday easy to plan.
