Welcome TO SUNRISE!
Hello there!
My name is Tiffany Keith, I am the Lead Pastor here at Sunrise United Methodist Church. I am so glad you have stopped by our page to learn more about us. I know how intimidating and overwhelming it can be to find a new church home. Even more so if you are just exploring the idea of faith. (I know, that was me once.) This page will give you more information about Sunrise, tell you what to expect, and help you find more information if you want to explore further.
So, welcome to Sunrise! As you explore and questions arise, please feel free to connect with me. I would love to hear more of your story over a hot cup of coffee (or tea!)

Our 9:00am worship, Awakenings, service is new! Although it will not "officially" launch until September 8, 2024, it is already a vibrant service with passionate people building this new thing!
Our 9:00 service is a vibrant blend of modern and traditional worship songs, led by our band, Bards of Grace. Awakenings is marked by a joyful and praiseful undercurrent that resonates with every Sunrise gathering.

Sunday School
Our traditional worship service is familiar, with a unique Sunrise touch! It incorporates recognizable elements such as hymns led by our Worship Choir and Orchestra, clergy often wear robes, we open with a collective opening liturgy, and an affirmation of faith. These are all woven together with the consistent thread of joy and praise that characterizes every Sunrise gathering.
- Children from 3 years old to 5th grade are welcome to join us in worship or go to Sunday School after the children's moment.

Kids
Kids are not just our future, they are also our present! We welcome children to lead some elements of worship (they do a fabulous job!), youth often join us for choir or orchestra, we say the Lord's Prayer together every Sunday, and we have a strong, vibrant Sunday School during the 10:30 service.
The Children's Welcome desk is one of the first things you see when you enter on Sunday morning. Staff makes a point of learning the kids and their names quickly, so they feel welcomed and included. For the 10:30 service and Sunday School, we check-in kids at the welcome desk with name tags and then they worship with their families until the children's moment. After which they head to Sunday School class. When worship is over, you head upstairs to sign them out.

Youth
As with our Sunrise Kids, our 6-12 graders are active members of our community. We have frequent youth events that include game nights, retreats, and Sunday School. You will also find youth in the tech booth, setting up snacks and coffee, helping with this kids, leading worship, and so much more! We want them to feel like they are part of our community, because they are!
Sunday school for our youth is during the 10:30 service hour. They meet upstairs in Fellowship Hall with large group games and small group time. Other events are advertised through Church communications, on the youth Facebook page, and sent directly to email.
