We invite everyone who is currently a member of a local disaffiliating UM Congregation to come and find a safe, welcoming and nurturing home with us.
Kenmore United Methodist Church is a Christ-centered community of faith and love,
reaching out to all. We are affiliated with Reconciling Ministries Network,
