Live Sermon

We, the congregation of Prospect United Methodist Church of Bristol, Connecticut, welcome everyone. We affirm the dignity and sacred worth of every person because we all are created by the same loving God. Called by the Holy Spirit to share a ministry that reflects God’s grace, love, and justice, we embrace and honor all who seek to participate in the ministries, leadership and life of our church.

We celebrate the diversity of God’s creation and gifts. We strive to respect and support persons of every race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, religious background, physical and mental ability, family structure, age, economic circumstance, and level of education.

We recognize that there are differences among us and believe that we can love alike even though we may not be alike or think alike. We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who may have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church and in society. We invite all people to join us in our faith journey as we grow together in love, understanding, and mutual respect.
Our welcome knows no boundaries. Whether you are here for the first time or the thousandth time, we want you to feel safe, at home and know you belong. If you are just passing through, we hope that our worship and fellowship will provide you with food for the journey.

Welcome to our Web Site.  Welcome to the web presence of the Prospect United Methodist Church. The “real” presence of Prospect Church is in the world – being individual instruments of God’s love wherever our members go. Called to service, we are centered in worship. We worship on Sunday mornings at 10:00 in the sanctuary.

Prospect is known as a family and child-friendly church. Children attend the opening portion of the 10:00 a.m. service with their families, come forward for the children’s message, then go to their Sunday School classes. Nursery care is provided for infants and toddlers. Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of each month at the 10:00 a.m. service. We invite you to check out the “real” presence of Prospect church. A warm welcome awaits. (more)
