Heart for the Community Chartered in 1982, Florence United Methodist Church has always had an “outsize” impact in its community. The people who worship in the little building with the steeple on Second and Kingwood are leaders in scores of community organizations – from Habitat for Humanity to the Siuslaw Public Library. Its own sponsored ministry, Free Lunch, a twiceweekly fixture for more than 26 years, has switched gears to provide vouchers for meals at Subway during COVID19 restrictions on use of its buildings. While in-person worship in its church building is temporarily suspended, Florence UMC is being “church” with on-line, on-demand weekly worship and a virtual coffee hour on Zoom. The church provides instructional and devotional materials, including video on the Internet, at no cost. Florence United Methodist is a proud member of the Reconciling Ministries Network, an international movement within the Methodist Church, to affirm, support and welcome all under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. It is truly a church of open minds, open hearts, open doors.
