Arlington UMC offers church service every Sunday morning at 10AM.  As you arrive, grab a bulletin from a member of the Welcome Team and treat yourself to a donut and coffee from Great Hall before service!

Dress code – Sunday morning dress at Arlington UMC varies greatly! People attend worship in everything from jeans to suits on any given Sunday.  Please dress in a way that is most comfortable for you!  Nothing is needed to attend worship, except for you!

Holy Communion – Communion is served every week at Arlington UMC.  The United Methodist Church and Arlington UMC believe that Holy Communion is open to all who wish to partake. The Table is not Arlington UMC’s Table or even The United Methodist’s Table – The Table is open to all – no exceptions.  Gluten free communion is offered as well.

Children – Children are welcome and celebrated in worship at Arlington UMC! If your child likes, Arlington UMC has special “Busy Bags” especially for children to enjoy during worship filled with different activities for little hands during the service! Additional spaces such as a children’s area is also available just beyond the windows of the Sanctuary as well!

Accessibility – At Arlington UMC, we believe that church should be accessible to all people, ages, races, abilities. Both main entrances located on the East side of the building (farthest from McKelvey Rd.) are accessible.  Large print bulletins, assisted listening devices, and wheelchairs are available for use during worship; please contact a Welcome Team member for any of these items. Have a question about the availability of a particular accommodation? Please contact the church office and we would be glad to answer any questions you may have!
