Greetings!
I'm so pleased you're considering choosing University United Methodist Church as your church home. On behalf of this 101 year old congregation, I want to extend a warm welcome to you.
This church is immersed in the rich heritage of Salina and especially Kansas Wesleyan University. In fact, the church was founded by students, faculty and administrators of Kansas Wesleyan in 1909 when KWU was literally a mile from town.
Salina has grown from those early days, and the campus and church are now in about the middle of town. Known as the "church at the gates of the campus," we are "humbly-proud" of both our affiliation with KWU and our mission to serve Christ, campus and community. The unique nature of the church offers opportunities to the richness of campus life -- sporting events, music and theater -- all are a part of the fabric of this community of faith.
We are, however, more than a booster club. Opportunities for spiritual growth and mission service abound as University Church offers numerous classes, groups and events for all ages and stages of life. On Sunday mornings you can choose any of three unique and meaningful worship experiences and even have time to join a discussion group during the Christian Education hour. Have a cup of coffee and a conversation during the fellowship times between the services.
Because your physical health is important, we have a parish nurse on staff who will provide regular blood pressure checks and wellness strategies and a health and wellness team that provides opportunities to improve your health holistically. The first Thursday of each month you will find a 30-minute Candlelight Prayer and Healing Service at 6:30 p.m. in our main sanctuary. It's one of the most meaningful services I've ever attended. I hope it will be for you, as well.
Know that you are welcome here. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call, email or stop by. My phone number is 785.825.9505 and my email is pastor@universitychurch-salina.org.
Grace and Peace,
Mike Rose, Senior Pastor
