Welcome to Waleska United Methodist Church!
We’re so glad you’ve found your way here. Whether you’re new to the area, new to church, or simply looking for a place to call your spiritual home, we invite you to discover Waleska UMC — a small but growing congregation nestled in the heart of the beautiful campus of Reinhardt University.
At Waleska UMC, we believe that church is more than a place to attend — it’s a place to belong. Our mission is simple yet profound: to love God, love people, and serve the world. We are a warm and welcoming faith community where people from all walks of life can grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, build authentic and supportive friendships, and discover ways to live out their faith in everyday life.
Our congregation includes college students, families, retirees, and individuals of all ages and backgrounds, creating a unique blend of energy, wisdom, and enthusiasm. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or have been walking with Christ for years, you’ll find opportunities here to ask deep questions, explore Scripture, and experience God’s grace in community with others.
Worship With Us
Each Sunday at 10:30 a.m., we gather in our Sanctuary for a meaningful time of worship that blends tradition and relevance. Through Scripture, music, prayer, and preaching, we seek to encounter the living God and be shaped more fully into the people God is calling us to be. We also livestream our worship service at the same time on our church website, so whether you’re in the pews or on your couch, you’re part of the family.
More Than Sunday Mornings
Life at Waleska UMC extends far beyond Sunday mornings. We host Bible studies, fellowship events, and service opportunities throughout the year. We partner with Reinhardt University and our local community in a variety of ways — from student outreach and campus ministries to food distributions and seasonal events that bless our neighbors.
Rooted in the United Methodist Tradition
As part of the United Methodist Church, we are grounded in Wesleyan theology — a faith that emphasizes God’s grace, the importance of personal and social holiness, and a lifelong journey of growing in love of God and neighbor. Our Methodist heritage inspires us to serve, advocate for justice, and be a people of hope in a hurting world.
Come and See
There’s never been a better time to be part of what God is doing at Waleska UMC. We are excited about the future, and we believe that God has a place for you here. Whether you’re searching, seeking, or simply curious, we invite you to come and see for yourself what makes our church such a special place.
Join us for worship in person or online, and take your next step in faith with us. We can’t wait to welcome you!
