Welcome to the
United Methodist Church of Anacortes
We are reimagining what a church can be, and we’d love you to be a part!
We at the United Methodist Church of Anacortes want you to know that no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, what you believe or may be questioning, what you have or don't have - you are welcome into our community of faith, by God who loves you and knows you by name.
We fully welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ people in the life and ministry of our church. People of every sexual orientation and gender identity are welcome to worship, belong, serve, lead, and celebrate their relationships and families here. (Read more here.)
Highlights - News & Happenings
Please keep the people of Nepal in your prayers following the devastating flash floods that struck the Himalayan region. A massive collapse of rock and glacial ice sent a torrent of water, mud, and debris through river valleys and communities, sweeping away homes, roads, and bridges and leaving hundreds dead and many more missing.

Our church family! Thanks to all who were in our first church picture since? Don’t have a clue - forever? Wish everyone could have been here - this is our family.

Ask Anything
We've all got doubts and tough questions. We take them as a sign that our faith is alive. Got a question about faith or life that you've always wanted to ask? Go for it. Need prayer? We are listening, and the pastor will keep your request in confidence unless you give us permission to share it with the whole prayer team.
