The Thurston United Methodist Church

2015 Main Street

About Us:

A Covenant People:

When you join a Methodist congregation, you become a member of the total United Methodist connection. Members promise God and the congregation to uphold the church with their prayers, presence, gifts and service.

A Diverse Community:

United Methodism was formed when the Methodist Church and Evangelical United Brethren Church merged in 1968. United Methodists trace their spiritual heritage back to 18th century leaders including John and Charles Wesley, Jacob Albright, Philip Otterbein, Martin Boehm and Francis Asbury. The design of our denominational emblem was conceived shortly after the 1968 union of the Methodist Church and the Evangelical United Brethren Church. The dual flames represent the two denominations coming together through the power of the Holy Spirit, standing alongside the cross of Christ.

Mission- Oriented Socially Conscious:


United Methodist are mission-oriented and socially conscious. This is important in our faith. We are aware of world events and strive to help those in need. United Methodists are one in faith and tradition with Methodist Christians around the world. All persons are welcome in the United Methodist Church. We are firmly committed to inclusiveness. We celebrate a diversity of people, ideas and cultures and are enriched by our diverse history. Open hearts, open minds, open doors...we are the people of The United Methodist Church.
