WELCOME to Mt Vernon UMC

We are a welcoming community of faith in Alexandria, VA, where people of all ages and backgrounds can grow in God’s love, serve our neighbors, and find hope together.

For over 75 years, our church has been a place where friendships are formed, faith is strengthened, and lives are transformed through worship, fellowship, and service. Whether you’re new to the area, returning to church, or exploring faith for the first time, you’ll find a warm and caring community here.

At Mount Vernon UMC, we seek to:

  • Worship God joyfully each Sunday.

  • Serve our community through outreach and missions.

  • Nurture faith in children, youth, and adults.

  • Live out Christ’s love in all that we do.

 

We are open and diverse

Jesus sought and welcomed all who wished to know and love God - the poor marginalized as well as the powerful. The methodist movement brought new life to this focus on openess and diversity, taking the good news beyond the church walls to meet where they were, to nurture and strengthen them as human beings and beloved children of God, and to send them oput to continue sharing the joyful message of God's love. 

Come as you are, we'd love to meet you!
