Worship is the heart of West Des Moines United Methodist Church. We believe that worship is essential to our personal and community faith formation. Through worship we participate in the birth, teachings, life, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. It shapes us into authentic disciples of Jesus Christ.
It is our intent and desire to use a variety of worship experiences, styles and methods to help each person be drawn into a deeper personal commitment to Jesus Christ in their daily life. There is no right way to worship. We currently use three basic styles of worship described below with many variations throughout the year.
Sunday Worship
Traditional - 8:00 a.m.
This service is for those seeking a formal worship environment. Robes are often worn, music is very traditional, and the message is delivered in a format that will reach you and make you want to be there!
Blended - 9:30 a.m.
Service is more casual, but suits are the usual attire. Many worshipers attend while their children are in Sunday School. This format is great for those not ready for a casual church, but not willing to attend a very formal service. Come see if this is the right one for you and your family!
Contemporary - 11:00 a.m.
Many of our members are looking for a modern, music oriented faith-based message. This format gives you a great band, new music, movie clips, and great use of computer technologies! If you are young at heart or young in spirit - come check us out!
Footsteps - Wednesday
7:30 p.m. - School year
This service time is youth led and organized. The focus is to provide a service for our high school students that is for, and by, them. If this is you, come see what there is to get excited about!
