Monroe Street United Methodist Church

About this church

Monroe Street United Methodist Church worships Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 3613 Monroe Street in Toledo, with live and recorded services on YouTube. Worship blends traditional and international music and liturgy, with biblical preaching that connects Scripture to community service. Coffee and fellowship follow in the back of the sanctuary. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month at an open table.

Children and youth remain with the intergenerational congregation for prayer, singing, and learning. Younger children may move to the chapel during the sermon for a Bible story and craft, and the church explicitly makes room for the noise and movement that accompany family worship. Monroe Street’s welcome names people across marital status, income, language, politics, recovery, doubt, and church experience, presenting difference as secondary to shared love of God. That openness continues through partnerships with the Neighborhood Center, Bluff Street Village, Jobs with Justice, the Northwest Ohio Interfaith Council, and Freedom School. The current sanctuary was added in 1955, but the church traces a much longer local story. A first-time guest can preview worship online, join at 10:30, participate in Communion regardless of background, and remain afterward for conversation.
