How Firm a Foundation

The Williamsville United Methodist Church has been a part of the Village of Williamsville since 1821.

At Williamsville United Methodist Church, we welcome all people to encounter Jesus Christ. We strive to provide a spiritual community that nurtures active fellowship and participation through a variety of ministries. Within our church community, we support and encourage people of all ages to join us on a spiritual journey with Christ.

Williamsville United Methodist Church has been serving the people of Western New York longer than any other church in the area. While we are proud of our historic presence in the Village of Williamsville, we know what keeps us relevant is far more than our building and history. It is the joy, love, and respect accorded everyone who enters our church, the quality of our staff, the strength of our programs, and our varied ministries.

We encourage you to explore our Web site to learn more about Williamsville United Methodist Church. We hope you will return to this Web site often to read announcements and articles that provide information about upcoming services, ministries, and events. You might also enjoy reading inspirational thoughts from our pastors and staff on the "Bread for the Journey" page.

We invite you to join us for Sunday worship, Christian education, and fellowship. Our doors are always open and we look forward to getting to know you.

Vision and Mission Statements

VISION STATEMENT

As a village church, Williamsville United Methodist faithfully continues the vision and tradition of our founders by welcoming all people to encounter Jesus Christ. We will nurture active fellowship and participation through a variety of ministries that encourage people of all ages to grow in a spiritual journey with Christ.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Williamsville United Methodist Church is a community of people striving to be contemporary disciples of Jesus Christ. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we affirm that God has a purpose for our congregation and that our church can have a telling impact. To that end, our mission is to be and make disciples for Christ! We accomplish this by worshiping God and nurturing each other through our common faith in a loving environment, and by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ by our daily actions, and by our service in this community and in the world.

Our Foundational Beliefs

We as United Methodists share a common heritage with all Christians. According to our foundational statement of beliefs in The Book of Discipline, we share many basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities. For more information on our beliefs, visit Our Christian Roots on the UMC.org website.

General Announcements

Chiavetta's BBQ - June 2

Plan on letting us do the cooking on Saturday, June 2 because we’re heating up the briquettes to barbeque some delicious Chiavetta’s chickens. We’ll be selling complete dinners for $9.00 from 4:00-7:30 PM (or until the chickens are gone, so come early!) As always this will be a lively event and to make it successful we'll need many helpers. We’re looking for folks who will help prepare and serve the food, and those who come to eat! We need people to put food on plates, prepare desserts, sell tickets, wave signs on Main Street, keep the Fellowship Hall clean, and much more. If you are new to the church and are looking for a way to meet new people, working on the BBQ is a great idea! Please support the event by signing up to work if you can and coming to enjoy a great dinner!
