Shady Grove United Methodist Church

About this church

Shady Grove United Methodist Church in Mechanicsville, Virginia, holds three worship services each Sunday: traditional worship at 8:15 a.m. in the sanctuary, contemporary acoustic worship at 9:45 a.m., and traditional worship again at 11:15 a.m. The 9:45 and 11:15 a.m. services are also available online. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month, and the church practices an open table, inviting everyone to receive. Its stated vision is to be rooted in Christ, growing in faith, and branching out in love.

Families have several options on Sunday mornings. Nursery childcare is offered at all three services for infants through age four, with a check-in kiosk outside the nursery, and a Children's Connection lesson takes place during worship. During the school year, small groups for ages three through fifth grade meet at the 9:45 and 11:15 a.m. services. Other ways to connect include Kitty's Kids Preschool, youth, young adult, and senior adult ministries, music opportunities, small groups and Bible studies, and community outreach such as support for the Hanover Interfaith Free Clinic. First-time visitors can use the I'm New page to plan a visit. Confirm current service times on the church website before attending.
