Church On the Cape

About this church

Church on the Cape is a United Methodist congregation in the Cape Porpoise village of Kennebunkport. Sunday begins with an old-fashioned hymn sing at 9:45 a.m., when worshipers call out favorites from the United Methodist Hymnal and The Faith We Sing. Traditional worship follows at 10 with the Passing of the Peace, invocation, prayer, Scripture, sermon, and other Methodist elements. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday and is open to all. Services are livestreamed, with a backup recording normally posted later the same day if technical problems interrupt the live feed.

The church began in 1727 and carries its long coastal history into traditions such as the annual Ship's Cargo Fair and the recognizable buoys displayed in the building. Children's Sunday School is being rebuilt and offers Bible learning and seasonal activities, while activity packets help younger children remain in worship. Parking is available behind the church and Bradbury Brothers Market, with accessible spaces along Langsford Road. Prayer and outreach ministries give members ways to support neighbors beyond Sunday. Visitors who enjoy congregational hymn singing may find the 9:45 prelude especially distinctive; those focused on the service itself should arrive before 10.
