If This is Your First Time
Come As You Are
There is no dress code at GUMC! Some of us will be in jeans and tees, others will be a bit more dressy, but all styles show up and all are perfectly appropriate!
​
There is Plenty of Parking
Although you may not see it from the street, there is a large parking area behind the church building. There are both visitor parking and handicapped spaces located near the entrance where there is also a covered carport for rainy days.
​
Bring Family or Friends
Classes and groups at 9 am are for all ages and stages. Worship at 10 am is open, informal, and child-friendly. If needed, there is a convenient cry room for parents who seek a quiet space to comfort a distressed child.
​
How Long Does it Last?
Classes meet for 45 minutes prior to worship. Worship normally lasts approximately 50 minutes
​
Are Guests Required to Stand or Wear a Visitor Tag?
No, although we do hope you will sign our registration and let us know you were with us. It would be a joy to welcome you personally!
​
Coffee is Served
Hot coffee and sometimes pastries are served in the foyer and are welcomed in the sanctuary where there are tables provided as well as comfortable sanctuary seating.
​
Music is Blended
Both traditional hymns and contemporary songs are sung on Sundays.
