A Message from Pastor Nick
Welcome to Goodrich United Methodist Church! Our roots in this community date back to 1836. While our name and buildings have changed, our belief in God's grace for all remains the same. Today, we are a welcoming congregation where everyone can worship freely. At GUMC, we recognize that we are all God’s children—including you. Through worship, study, and service, we strive to grow in faith and share God’s love with our neighbors. If you seek a church where you can truly be yourself, I invite you to join us. No matter your background, GUMC is a place to rest your soul and embrace your identity as a beloved child of God. Hope to see you soon!

Christmas Giving Tree: This November, we are helping two local families have a joyful Christmas, and you can be part of this special ministry!
Look for the Giving Christmas Tree near the fellowship area. Simply choose an ornament wish tag, purchase the requested gift, and return it in a gift bag with the tag attached by December 6.
Want to help but unable to shop? You can make a monetary donation by writing a check to GUMC with “CFCF Presents” in the memo line and placing it in the offering plate. One of our Christmas shoppers will purchase a gift on your behalf.
The Giving Tree will continue sharing warmth in December by collecting new hats and mittens for members of our community in need. Thank you for helping make Christmas a little brighter for our neighbors! Questions about the families can be directed to the church office.
