Services

We are part of the original congregation, a small group of traditional worshipers that during Covid lost our worshiping time in our beloved Bethel Sanctuary. That has not stopped us from worshiping God or our beloved Jesus Christ during 10 am on a Sunday! Since we are a small, intimate group, we are now worshiping in our historic Georgian parsonage. Join us for our services in our beautiful parsonage next door to our church, where we come together to worship, pray, and learn from God's word. Our services are open to everyone, and we welcome you to come as you are.

CHURCH DESCRIPTION

Dear Seeker

Times are changing from the usual every Sunday service. People want their weekend to themselves. In our area, sports, shopping, sleeping in, and everything else seems to fill the weekend. These things and Covid has changed Arcola UMC. However, our faith is strong.

Our Sunday Service at the parsonage next door to the big church is held approximately every other week or twice a month for now .

(Look for our WELCOME sign on the porch)

We are not the large Korean congregation next door but a small group of people that gather to worship God and his son Jesus.

Whether you are new to the area or have been a member of our congregation for years, we invite you to join us at the parsonage and experience the joy of community at Arcola United Methodist Church Parsonage.

* Remember, Jesus started with 12 disciples. Beginning churches started with small group of believers.

Arcola United Methodist Church, although in Paramus, is for all surrounding believers from Fair Lawn, Rochelle Park, Maywood, Saddle Brook, Elmwood Park, Paramus, and more. Believers seeking to rediscover the beauty and complexity of Jesus Christ in new ways; to Love, Help, and Serve the community and one another in in Jesus' name.

A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

Have you ever wondered what this world has come to? After all, look at our world today. Aren’t a lot of people more self-absorbed, arrogant, rude, entitled, money hungry, power hungry? Is there not a great division here in the US and all over the world? Rulers and political figures throughout the bible and modern day have been no exception to sin. Political leaders and rebels wanting what others have and don’t care about human life to get it. Haven't we put God and Jesus on the back burner long enough?

Matthew 24:6-8 warns of our complacency. Make Jesus your Light in the Darkness!
