About this church
Abingdon United Methodist Church worships in its downtown Main Street sanctuary at 8:45 and 11 a.m. Sunday, with the later service available online. Sunday School for all ages meets between the services at 9:45. Both worship hours are traditional, and nursery care is available at each; Children's Church and Kidstuff for kindergarten through fifth grade take place during the 11 a.m. gathering. Reserved mobility parking is available on Church Street, street parking lines Main Street, and additional parking can be found across from Barter's Smith Theater. The building includes wheelchair seating and other accessibility accommodations.
The congregation traces its roots to 1783, when early Methodists met in homes for prayer and study, giving it one of the longer church histories in Abingdon. Today it states its calling simply: live and love like Jesus, joining God's redemptive work locally and around the world. Youth meet Sunday at 5 for small groups, service projects, and outings, while a pastor-led Bible study gathers Wednesday at 6. Choir, handbells, retreats, mission trips, and other ensembles create additional paths into community. A family can combine Sunday School with either service or choose the 11 a.m. hour for the fullest children's programming.
