Church of the Palms United Methodist Church

About this church

Church of the Palms United Methodist Church is an Okatie congregation seeking to transform lives by connecting people with God and one another. Its mission emphasizes a vibrant community of Christ followers extending love through prayer, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Worship, online participation, music, formation, mission, groups, and care continue a church story that began with a 1997 planning team and held its first Okatie Business Park service in 2001.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m. and can also be watched online. The Adult Chancel Choir rehearses Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., welcoming singers whether or not they read music. The homepage lists two Wednesday items—10:00-to-10:30 and 10:30 a.m.—without enough extracted context to identify them safely, so visitors should consult the live calendar rather than assume they are worship services. The church previously added an 8:30 gathering as attendance grew, but the current homepage publishes only 10:00, which is the time used here. The corrected name and denomination expand the older “UM” abbreviation so visitors can recognize the congregation’s United Methodist identity.
