Who We Are
Our Story
Rooted in faith, shaped by community, and called to serve — Manito Community UMC has been a home for all who seek God's grace.
Our History
A Church Built on Welcome
Manito Community United Methodist Church has served the Manito community for generations. What began as a small gathering of faithful neighbors has grown into a vibrant congregation united by a shared commitment to worship, service, and belonging.
Through the decades, our church has weathered change and celebrated milestones alongside the families and individuals who call Manito home. We have baptized children, married couples, mourned losses, and rejoiced in new beginnings — always together.
Today, we carry that same spirit forward. Whether you are a lifelong Methodist or exploring faith for the first time, you will find an open door, a warm welcome, and a community ready to walk alongside you.
Our Purpose
Our Mission
To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world — one life, one family, one community at a time.
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind... Love your neighbor as yourself."Matthew 22:37–39
Our Foundation
What We Believe
Grace for All
We believe in God's boundless grace — freely given, freely received. No one is beyond the reach of God's love, and no one is turned away at our door.
Worship Together
Gathered worship is at the heart of who we are. We come together each Sunday to praise, pray, and be renewed for the week ahead.
Serve Our Neighbors
Faith without action is incomplete. We are called to serve — in our community, our region, and the world — with humility and compassion.
Grow in Faith
We are all on a journey. Through Bible study, small groups, and mentorship, we support one another in growing deeper in faith and understanding.
You Are Welcome Here
Come As You Are
You do not need to have it all figured out to belong here. We are a community of imperfect people seeking God together. Sunday worship begins at 10:00 AM — we would love to see you.
