Everyone is welcome—whether you're thinking about being baptized yourself, considering it for a family member, or just want to learn more.

In this class, we will talk about what baptism represents and why it matters in our faith journey. Across different Christian traditions, baptism holds different meanings, and we’ll take time to reflect on how we, as United Methodists, understand this sacred and grace-filled act.

Baptism is offered during our regular worship services and also during our special Lake Baptism event in early September. If you want to know about its purpose, power, or its place in your life, this class is a great place to start!

We ask that you be 10 years or older due to the proximity to traffic. Anyone 16 and up may serve unsupervised. Anyone younger needs a parent present for safety.

Trash bags, rubber gloves, and safety vests are provided; we recommend bringing work gloves if you want more coverage.

This is always a fun morning and a favorite project of the Student Ministry, who do this every year as well.

You can meet at the church at 10:00 AM and carpool down the street to the cleanup area.

Regina Province will be your leader for the day. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, please contact Regina at 816-304-6540.

Get ready for our very first Paws & Portraits event on November 8th!

Bring your furry family members and capture the perfect Christmas card photo.

The amazing Kathy Asel, a professional photographer, is donating her time and talent to make this event extra special. She'll create a festive holiday scene with Christmas trees, a cozy bench, and plenty of Christmas charm for a picture-perfect moment.

To keep everyone comfortable (and out of the unpredictable Missouri November weather), this event will be hosted inside the gym at Woods Chapel Church.

Families will sign up for one 15-minute time slot between 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM to keep things organized, stress-free, and safe for pets.

Instead of a fee, we're asking for a donation of pet food, which will go directly to support our Lee's Summit and Raytown food pantries.

To keep tails wagging and the day running smoothly, families will wait in their cars until their session begins, and our friendly pet wranglers will help coordinate each time slot. There won't be any pet-to-pet interactions—just happy pets, happy people, and holiday cheer.

Each family will receive a digital photo perfect for printing your own Christmas cards or sharing with loved ones!

All time slots are now full. Please look out for our next Pet Ministry event!

On the first Saturday of each month, we will meet at Woods Chapel Church at 10:00 AM to assemble sack lunches as a community. We will then go out and deliver to those in need in the community. Come and join us for community and learn how to serve together as a group!
