Welcome!
Whether you're a regular church-goer, a first-time visitor, or someone who's been away from church for a while, know that you are always welcome at Pendleton Center UMC. Come and experience a different kind of church where we put God's love into action, healing hearts, and transforming lives. We look forward to meeting you and sharing in this journey of faith together.
Current Sermon Series
What Child Is This?
In 1865, William Chatterton Dix wrote the poem that became the beloved carol “What Child Is This?” This Advent, we’ll explore that question in all its depth - looking at the world Christ was born into, its trauma and injustice, and the echoes we still feel today. Even so, the carol reminds us that God is truly “present with us,” bringing Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love right into the hardest places.

When Christ Steps Into Our Chaos
As the pace of life speeds up and the pressures of the season close in, Christmas reminds us that Christ comes right into the middle of our stress, uncertainty, and longing. The angel’s words to Mary tell us who He truly is - the King who enters our mess with hope, steadiness, and love that never ends.
