Gainesville United Methodist Church

About this church

Gainesville United Methodist Church, branded online as Gainesville Church, is a Northern Virginia congregation whose mission is to worship God, love neighbors, and make new and stronger disciples of Jesus. Three Sunday styles range from traditional choir-led worship to a modern band-led gathering. Children from birth through fifth grade receive Bible stories, music, crafts, and age-specific care from background-checked volunteers; children may also stay in worship, with busy bags provided. Groups, missions, and the year-long Awaken 2026 emphasis connect Sunday faith with intentional growth and community service.

Traditional worship begins Sunday at 8:00 and 11:00 a.m., with modern worship at 9:30. Children’s classes are offered at 9:30 and 11:00, youth classes at 9:30, and adult classes at both 9:30 and 11:00. Middle-school youth meets Sunday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.; high-school youth meets Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:30. The annual confirmation course starts in January and runs for thirteen Sundays during the 11:00 service, followed by a spring retreat. Because confirmation is seasonal, families should use the ordinary class schedule unless they have enrolled in that specific program.
