Why CUMC?

Life can be complicated and demanding, we know. We all face pressures, obligations, burdens and disappointments – even as we celebrate life’s joys and transitions. It’s easy to become overwhelmed, exhausted or discouraged.

At the same time, our culture is becoming more individualistic and opportunities for community are harder to find. Yet we all need encouragement. We need someone to say, “I love you, I believe in you, I accept you.” The good news of our Christian faith is that ours is a God of acceptance and encouragement. When the world threatens to rip our hearts out, God is there to put heart back into us, to re-light the spark and give us new life.

At Coralville UMC we accept and recognize the holy within you. Our hope is that you may know Christ’s love for you, and that you will walk with us as we help one another grow to become the very hands and feet of Jesus in this world. We may not be perfect at this, but our hearts and minds are always focused on these goals. The mission of the United Methodist Church is Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World. Together we are committed to transforming the world, one broken life at a time.

 

 

What's New

Sunday, May 25, will be the last Sunday of regular Kids.Connect classroom time. But never fear!  Teachers and leaders are planning some summer fun!


This summer Pastor Rachel will host a summer book club instead of a regular Bible Study. Because summer schedules are full and often unpredictable, instead of meeting weekly, we will read the book in your own time (maybe at the beach or the cabin) and then meet once a month to discuss the book. Pastor Rachel will share some reflections about the readings for the weekly newsletter. Keep reading to view the selections.


 Read on to see some of the ways you can get and stay connected! Contact the church office (319-351-2446 or office@coralvilleumc.org) if you'd like to receive the weekly ENews.
