A Hearty Welcome!
Welcome to our church website. Orleans United Methodist
Church is known as the Church at the Crossroads. Not only are we strategically
located near the center of town at the intersection of Route 28 and Main St.,
but we are also a church that welcomes diversity in its fullest sense. We
acknowledge that all of God’s children are on a spiritual journey, and we
affirm each person’s step along the way.
Our records indicate that in 1836, The Rev. Thomas G.
Brown and his wife arrived in Orleans the first of September and on September 6th
organized the Methodist Episcopal Church with sixteen members.
The corner stone for the “new” church in its
present location was laid on the twenty-first of August, 1838 and was completed
in three months, with the dedication on November 16th, 1838. We have
been in engaged in ministry on this corner ever since.
Our church vision statement:
On
our journeys with Christ we reach out from the crossroads to our
World, our
community, and our congregation through worship,
Witness, and
service to all generations.
It is our sincere hope that our website will inspire you
to visit us, whether you are traveling, vacationing or new to the community.
If you live
“away” we hope that you will visit our website often. Let us know
what you think and how we can pray for you. We ask you to pray for us as well.
Above all, keep the Faith.
The Grace and Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
Pastor Wesley Williams
