New to Ashland? Welcome!
We are so glad you’ve chosen to visit us! We invite you to change the world through a church that takes the Gospel Message seriously. We join together and seek new ways to love God and love our neighbor. We have a wonderful past, but God is writing an even more exciting future. You are invited and empowered to change the world at Ashland!
Ashland is an eclectic congregation comprised of young families with children through retired adults. We encourage everyone to “come as you are” in regards to attire with both suits and jeans being common in our worship settings. We have large children and youth ministries to foster formation from infancy through high school. Ashland is also home to a variety of ministry, service and social opportunities designed to grow your faith and enrich your life.
Our Sunday morning Services
8:00 AM Traditional Chapel Service
Our 8 am service takes place in our chapel worship space. This is a “small-church” more intimate environment consisting of “old-hymn” singing, prayer and a message with communion every week. If you like a worship setting where “everyone knows everyone else”, this is a good option for you!
9:00 AM Contemporary Service
Our 9 am service is usually the largest of the morning. Led by our contemporary worship team with full worship band, the service is more high energy than our other offerings. The music features the most recent worship songs and artists of the day including Elevation Worship, Bethel and others. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month.
11:00 AM Traditional Service
Our 11 am service, though branded a “traditional” service, has blended elements utilizing old traditional hymns accompanied by organ as well as more modern choruses accompanied by piano. The music is led by our “vocal ensemble” which provide top-notch choral music every week throughout the year. Special instrumentation including handbells are incorporated often.
Are You Ready for the Next Step?
On the first Sunday of each month, visitors can meet with Pastor Doug for “Coffee with the Pastor” during the 10 am hour. You can ask questions about Ashland, the Methodist Church or any other subject as you determine if Ashland is a potential church home for you!
