I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called.

Ephesians 4:1

At Lafayette Park UMC, our Mission is to be “a church without walls, creating a visible sign of Christ’s presence in our urban community and beyond.” To that end, our congregation strives to be active in the community with acts of service, love, justice, and mercy.

When you feel within you the call to serve–to “do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8)–find your place at LPUMC. We welcome all people to serve and be served in our various ministries. Do not hesitate to reach out using the contact information on each ministry page linked below.
