About this church
Bookwalter United Methodist Church begins children's Sunday School at 10 a.m. and worship at 11. Kindergarten through fifth-grade children start the main service with the congregation, then leave for Children's Church with two adult teachers. The choir contributes music every Sunday and offers special performances throughout the year; rehearsal begins Sunday afternoons at 4:30 and lasts about an hour. Bookwalter's public ministry pages convey a small, participatory church where children, musicians, students, volunteers, and adult groups all have visible roles.
Middle- and high-school youth gather Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. under youth-director and parent-volunteer leadership. The group explicitly welcomes everyone to belong, grow in self-understanding, explore spirituality, and help build a more loving world; occasional trips such as the Resurrection youth event add worship and learning. Bible studies are offered in person or through Zoom, but the page currently asks visitors to check back for the next study rather than publishing an active time. United Women in Faith and other ministries provide additional connection. The official website does not explain nursery care, child check-in, accessibility, parking, livestreaming, worship style, Communion frequency, or whether children's and youth schedules pause seasonally, so those details need direct confirmation.
