Encountering God - Loving the Community - Serving the World
If you are new to the Northbrook United Methodist Community, welcome! We are a church deeply interested in being a source of light and support for others, most especially for those who are in need. Our mission is to provide a place for all people to encounter the presence of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the eternal promises of our creator God. We are committed to loving one another and all of God’s people and creation. We strive to serve beyond our campus, longing to connect with a world in need.
If you are looking for a church home committed to welcoming everyone to the table, continuing conversations and open dialogue, and searching for God’s presence and purpose through Holy Scripture, then this is a place for you. We are rooted and deeply committed to the United Methodist Church and our Wesleyan heritage and theology. If you would like to know more, please feel free to reach out to me. You can learn more about us on this website, by watching our worship services, or better yet, visiting us on Sunday mornings. Rev. Laurie Moeller, Senior Pastor lmoeller@northbrookumc.com |
Membership
If you feel that Northbrook United Methodist Church is a place you would like to call home, we invite you to become a member of the church. Becoming a member requires that you make a first-time profession of faith in Jesus Christ and become baptized if you have not been already. Or, if you have been a Christian and a member of another congregation, we simply ask you to reaffirm your faith in Jesus Christ and vow to support this congregation with your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service and your witness. |
It's simple.
Church is a community of people looking to love and serve because that is how God created us to be. God came to restore the image of God within each of us through Jesus Christ. Through Christ and the Holy Spirit, we become one body, united in our common goal to bring the loving and amazing Kingdom of God to earth!
FAQs
Where should I park? There is ample parking surrounding our church buildings. We invite visitors to take advantage of visitor parking, located just to your left as you turn in off Crabapple Road.
What should I wear? Your Sunday best is whatever makes you comfortable.
What if I want to bring my children? We currently have WeeGrow nursery care for babies and young children under five years old. We encourage older children to join us in worship. In traditional worship, we provide activity packets for children and invite them to be a part of a children's moment. In our modern worship service, The Brook, we have a "prayground" for preschool-aged children and activities for older children, while they worship with their families. We also have youth programming on Sunday nights.
Can I plug into a small group? Yes! We do our best to help you land in the right spot. Executive Director of Discipleship Allen Whittaker can help.
