About this church
Damascus United Methodist Church worships from 9 to about 10 a.m. Sunday at 9700 New Church Street in Damascus, with online participation available. The sanctuary service uses hymns, liturgical readings, Scripture, prayer, music, and a message. The church describes itself as a diverse, loving community rooted in faith and growing outward in service. Infants and toddlers have staffed care from 8:45 to 11:30, giving parents flexibility before and after the main gathering.
Faith Time for ages three through fifth grade meets at 10:15 during the school year, after children have joined the congregation for worship and a children's message. Children with additional support needs may be paired with a trained adult. Music is unusually broad: ensembles include children's and youth choirs, puppets, praise band, Chancel Choir, orchestra, and community concert projects. The outdoor labyrinth, built in 2011 and open from dawn to dusk, provides a quiet prayer practice beyond scheduled services. Missions connect members with Habitat for Humanity, local care organizations, and global partners. A new family can worship together at 9, then transition to Faith Time; anyone visiting specifically for a choir, class, or labyrinth event should confirm the seasonal schedule.
