Each person who joins SUMC—whether by faith, in baptism, or in confirmation—is asked this important question:

Will you faithfully participate in the ministries of this church by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, and your service?

Simply, this means that each member upholds the mission by taking an active role, caring prayerfully for others as ourselves, becoming involved as able, and giving both time and financial gifts in order that our world, our community, and we ourselves are better.

One of the first steps to membership is to learn more about SUMC at a Discover Shawnee class, an informal meeting for those seeking to join or just seeking more information. Call the church office at 913-631-2280 for the next scheduled date or take a look at our website calendar.

Next, you'll want to schedule a visit with Senior Pastor Lucinda Holmes to answer any questions you may have and to schedule your reception into the church.

Meanwhile, please visit our worship services, Christian education classes, or other fellowship activities. We welcome you!
