Contemporary Worship Launch


  • Puyallup United Methodist Church 1919 West Pioneer Avenue Puyallup, WA 98371 United States (map)

Looking for a church that shares your progressive values? Where Jesus’ call to love your neighbor isn’t merely lip service paid but is a practice authentically and faithfully lived out. Where everyone is truly welcome and all are beloved?

Perhaps you find yourself in a place where you’re questioning your faith, or recently deconstructed your previously held beliefs. Maybe, like so many of us, you consider yourself an “exvangelical.” What does faith look like and does that still have a place in your life? You’ve got questions and aren’t sure about the answers.

Maybe you haven’t been to church in years. Or you stopped attending after the pandemic. Life gets busy…don’t we know it?!

If any of this feels familiar—and even if it doesn’t!—you’re invited to come check out our new Contemporary Worship service at 10:30 am every Sunday here at PUMC! An inclusive and affirming Christian community intentionally living and sharing God’s love. A place where we believe that every person is a beloved child of God endowed with dignity, value, and beauty.

We have two worship services on Sunday mornings: the 9 AM Traditional and our new service, the 10:30 AM Contemporary. The first service is more structured and formal with traditional music. The second service is more casual and interactive with modern, contemporary Christian music. Each is around 45 minutes long, and the sermon material is the same.

As a Methodist Church, if you’re used to a Catholic service, you’ll notice we have far less liturgy. If you’re used to a traditional Protestant service, you’ll find us more informal. If you’re used to a more nondenominational evangelical service, we might be more structured. Whatever type of worship experience you’re used to, we believe we have something of value to share here! If this will be your first time joining us, feel free to check out our Plan a Visit page.

This is your invitation to come experience and worship God in the way that speaks most to your heart! We promise to welcome you with radical inclusivity, grace, and love—and no strings attached! Wherever you are in your faith journey…welcome!
