We celebrate communion every Sunday and you’re invited to experience God’s love + grace at this open table for ALL people. Not just for members, not just for United Methodists. For you.
This is the bread of Life. This is the cup of Hope. Broken for you. Poured for you. Baked for you. Harvested for you. Blessed for you. A Holy Sacrament for you. A call to go out into the world to love God + love one another for you.

We were BLESSED to officially welcome Derek, Jennifer + Arthur White into our Glendale Family yesterday! With a Gamer Chaplain in our midst, there are so many opportunities to share the love + grace of God with new people in new ways! Stay tuned - great things are ahead!
A little bit about them: “We chose Glendale because of the open, loving, & gracious spirit exhibited by the pastor & congregation. Glendale is a wonderfully affirming place.”

Sveta Griffin found us + we are SO thankful that she chose us as her church family! 💙
From Sveta: “I grew up in an evangelical non-denominational church. I never quite fit in. I got tired of seeing people claim that they love Jesus and then turn a blind eye to injustices in the world. I found Glendale and it felt like home for me - a place of belonging and acceptance and a group of people who lived out the teachings and love of Jesus.“

Giving thanks that Jonathan Shepherd met people from Glendale over the years (before his first time coming) and chose to make us his church home + family in worship on Sunday! 💙
From Jonathan: “Towards the end of the pandemic I decided to visit Glendale. As a messy, doubting, inconsistent, queer person I have always felt welcomed + embraced at Glendale. I have never believed in church membership, even as a child, but I am so loved here that I want to be a member.”
