I’ve said it multiple times in multiple ways: Church can suck.

The good news? Applewood Valley (The Big Apple), doesn’t.

According to one polling group (Barna) the top three reasons people don’t go to church are:

The Church is sexist.
The Church is homophobic.
All they do is ask for money.

And honestly? All good reasons TO stay away. I would.

But…that ain’t all churches.

Fun facts!

The United Methodist Church has been ordaining women since 1956 (in fact the last THREE pastors at Applewood have been women.)…Applewood Valley UMC is a Reconciling church that welcomes ALL. (And ALL MEANS ALL. )…And…we don’t even HAVE an offering plate! (But if you DO wanna give, we will show ya how.) The music is killer, our youth program solid, and my sermons tend to fall in the 15-18 minute range. Hopefully long enough to make an impact…not long enough to make for a nap! We do our thing ever Sunday at 10am.
