Who We Are

At Minooka UMC, we passionately affirm the inherent worth of all our neighbors as children of God. We extend a wholehearted invitation for full participation in our church’s life and ministry, regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, documentation status, ethnicity, or any doubts and questions about faith and religion.

There is no judgement here, no dress code, no pretense – just an open-hearted invitation to join our inclusive congregation. Our Communion table is open to all, inviting everyone to share in the sacred meal. Children are not only welcome but cherished, their laughter and playful spirit enriching our gatherings. We invite you to experience the love and acceptance that defines our church and become a part of our found family.
