Mission Statement
We confidently strive to grow in Christ, love one another, and be the hands and feet of God in the world.
At Leavenworth Community United Methodist Church, it is the people who make the difference. We are a community of faith that cares for each other, for the community around us, for the world and for all God’s creation. It is our desire to be truly Christ-like in thought and action, loving as God loves and showing that love in tangible ways. These connections are at the heart of our church family.
We are also committed to growing in our walk with God and supporting one another on that journey through Bible study, small groups, classes and spiritual friendships. The fruit of this spiritual growth is outreach. As we experience God’s love and grace, we are inspired and energized to serve God’s people, whoever they are and whatever their circumstances. We take seriously Christ’s admonition to serve “the least of these” and believe that it is through these acts of service that we participate in the Kingdom of God that is both now and yet to come.
Our Beginning.
Rev. Melvin Rumohr arrived on Memorial Day in 1907 to organize a Methodist Church in Leavenworth. We began with only 20 people.
First Home.
In 1908 our first church was built at the corner of Evans and Whitman streets. The first service was held on December 9th 1908.
Expanding.
In 1946 we were able to secure four lots on Summit street and began a three year construction process that was finished in 1949 in time for Easter Service with Rev. LaVern Tooley.
Today.
In 1959 we held our Golden Jubilee (50 years after the church was dedicated; and in 2007 we celebrated our centennial.
LCUMC is dedicated to being a safe space.
Safe Sanctuaries is an overt expression in making congregations safe places where children, youth and vulnerable adults may experience the abiding love of God and fellowship within the community of faith.
