About
Bakerstown United Methodist Church
Welcome!
Our growing energetic congregation celebrate the love and
grace of Jesus Christ in our lives. Our ministry is diverse and opportunities
abound for everyone of every age. Here, we grow in faith and discipleship.
We develop meaningful lasting friendships; we learn together; we pray for one another
and support those in need.
Bakerstown United Methodist Church has a long-standing tradition and presence in
the community. We are grateful for our heritage that has
always embraced the
future with a vision for where the Lord will lead us. Today, we continue to
look to the future cherishing new ideas and creating new ministries as we seek to
represent our Lord Jesus Christ in an evey changing world.
Our Vision
The Rev. Ralph Lee first organized the Bakerstown United Methodist Church in 1832,
and the church was built in 1938 on the property that is now Bakerstown Presbyterian
Church and it still stands today. Once the membership outgrew the small church,
the decision was made to purchase land (at our current location) to allow for expansion.
Once erected on the current site, Bakerstown UMC held its first service in December
1959. As the church continued to grow, long-term building plans were made.
The education wing was added in 1973 to accomodate the growing number of children,
youth and families in our congregation as well as the growing community. More
additions came in 1995 and 2000. The new sanctuary was the centerpiece of
the next building phase, completed in April 2001. The new sanctuary, with
its balcony allows for seating of up to 500.
The architectural design allows for a sense of togetherness and community while
in worship. The additions of state of the art sound and visual equipment enhances
ways the congregation can experience worship. Modifications and upgrades were
made to both the upper and lower education wings. Finally, the large multi-purpose
Fellowship Hall and fully equipped kitchen is the perfect setting for a family party,
a wedding reception, or even square dancing and church sponsered yard sales.
We made the necessary modifications and added an elevator to allow for handicap
accessibility. Landscaping, and expanded parking added beauty and convenience.
Now, we have a congregation who seeks to keep alive the vision for ministry now
and in years ahead. These most recent building additions allow us the opportunity
to grow into the future - come see the program additions to the church as well!
The Sacrament of Communion
Everyone of Christian faith is welcome to share in this celebration. You do
not have to be a member of this church; Christ invites all who receive Him as Lord
to feast with Him at the table. Check the bulletin for Communion Sundays,
and please join us.
