Providence United Methodist Church

About this church

Providence United Methodist Church offers in-person and livestreamed worship Sundays at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. at 901 South Providence Road in Richmond. The 9:00 service is contemporary and described as “Come as You Are,” while 11:00 is traditional. On fifth Sundays, the congregation combines into one 10:00 service. Children’s Sunday School bridges the regular worship times from 9:45 to 10:45, with a nursery for babies and toddlers and a multi-age class for preschool through eighth grade.

The congregation summarizes its purpose as inviting people to belong in community, be transformed, and make a difference. Providence’s documented history begins in 1807, when two acres were deeded to the Methodist Society for one dollar and a log cabin stood on the property. Its ministries have evolved with the neighborhood: current mission work includes preparing and serving a monthly meal for 180 to 200 guests through a partner United Methodist church, while youth from Providence and nearby congregations gather for fellowship and service projects. The two contrasting worship styles, between-service education hour, and fifth-Sunday exception are the key planning details. Visitors can watch archived services to compare contemporary and traditional settings before choosing an arrival time.
