National UMC is a Lighthouse Congregation that offers intentional stability and welcome to all who find themselves exiled from former houses of worship which became increasingly intolerant of progressive ideals. We seek to provide a place of welcome and belonging during this time of grief and transition with caring relationships, listening hearts, unconditional love, and “no pressure” ministry opportunities.  

We invite you to join worship and other ministry opportunities in-person or online 

Summer 2023, starting June 25, we will offer special online and hybrid welcome sessions for anyone looking for a place of welcome or wanting to deepen their connection to National UMC. 

  • 10 am (Eastern) --  Zoom Meet and Greet Session

  • 11 am (Eastern) --  Hybrid Worship and Welcome Gathering, Metropolitan Memorial Campus Christie Room

Online participants can access any of these sessions via Zoom:

Through the Lighthouse meetings in the coming months, we will create space for newcomers to find each other and find the love of God.
