Located in the heart of the Chapel Hill community, OUMC has offered, for more than 175 years, an environment of enrichment, care and growth. Our worship services are warm, lively, provocative and fullfilling and reflect a congregation that extends this warmth and enthusiasm beyond Sundays and these doors.
If you are new to Orange United Methodist Church, we welcome you! Our traditional Sunday worship services are held at 8:00am and 11:00am in the Sanctuary. These services feature a worship experience that includes choir and liturgy. Our Pathways contemporary Sunday worship service is held at 9:00am in the Fellowship Hall. The service consists of elements such as video, drama and live music that is a lively mix of old and new songs with a full band.
IF YOU LIVE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR CONGREGATION AS A MEMBER!
You may do this in several ways.
BY PROFESSION OF FAITH AND BAPTISM
If you are not now a baptized Christian, the Pastor will be happy to discuss the meaning of the Baptism with you in your home or in his study at your convenience.
BY TRANSFER FROM ANOTHER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Simply mark the Guest Registration Pad under "Desire to join this church". The Pastor will then get in touch with you. It is not necessary for you to write your former church. We will handle the details of transfer for you.
BY TRANSFER FROM ANOTHER CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION
The process is very much like the one above. Since you are already baptized and confirmed, these steps will not be repeated. You will be asked to take the one vow taken by all members of the United Methodist Church: "Will you be loyal to the United Methodist Church and uphold it by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness?"
