Worship is the most important thing we do here at Prescott United Methodist Church. Through our regular worship services, the word of Jesus in stained glass window God is lifted up, the fellowship of believers is strengthened, and the power of the spirit is manifested.  The weekly prayers and hymns are an important part of the spiritual life of our worshippers.  

We offer regular worship services on Sunday mornings at 9 and 10:30 AM, and on Saturdays at 5 PM.  The 9 AM service is often standing room only and is filled with families with children, as well as a large number of retired folks, reflecting the demographics of Prescott.  The 10:30 service is a bit slower paced and doesn't feel quite as rushed on most Sundays.  The Saturday service is our contemporary worship service, complete with praise hymns and a praise band.  It is a "come as you are" service, so don't expect to see too many folks all dressed up!   All three of these services enjoy the ministries of our choirs and talented music leaders.  Communion is celebrated at these services on the first weekend of each month. 

The 9:00 a.m. service is generally our most crowded however there is more room on Saturdays and at our 10:30 service. Fellowship Time is a snack and conversation opportunity that happens in the patio area for everyone between services on Sunday. Our major parking area is the upper lot on the right as you enter from Gurley Street, while there is a separate, smaller handicapped lot just past the Family Life Center on the left.

In addition to these services, we have a weekly service of Holy Communion in the chapel on Sunday mornings (except the first Sunday of each month).  These short, informal services are usually attended by about 15 to 20 persons.

Decorated Wedding Cake Special services are held throughout the year, including holiday services around Christmas and Holy Week.  Baptism, Confirmation, and Church Membership is celebrated on a monthly basis.   Weddings and memorial services are common occurrences in our sanctuary as well.

Weddings
Please contact the church office for more information regarding having a wedding at Prescott United Methodist Church.  Weddings can be scheduled most weekends with one of our three regular pastors officiating.  Due to our worship schedule, Saturday weddings must conclude before 3 PM.

Baptism and Confirmation
The sacrament of Baptism signifies a commitment to follow Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We urge people to be baptized in a public worship service, usually as part of a regularly scheduled service. However, in some circumstances, private baptisms may be arranged. In our United Methodist tradition, we practice both infant and adult baptism. Those baptized as infants are expected to affirm the baptism vows through confirmation. Youth confirmation classes are offered regularly and an exciting new adult confirmation course will soon be offered. Please speak to a pastor for more information about baptism and confirmation.

Memorial Services
The church is always available for memorial services for church members and friends. Obviously, a memorial service is not something most people plan for ahead of time. However, we would encourage you to think about your desires for a memorial service, to speak with a pastor about your questions, and to pre-plan your funeral arrangements. There are three local mortuaries in Prescott, and two more in Prescott Valley. Please contact the church office for more information.
