Rev. Todd Dowdy
YOU are Welcome here
A personal invite
Have you or someone you know experienced disillusionment with religion due to negative encounters with people within it? Perhaps you have felt overwhelmed by the constant pursuit of earning God's approval. It is important to recognize that this was never the intended path for our lives.
Magnolia UMC's message is clear -
You are welcome here.
No matter where you have been.
No matter what you have done
or left undone.
You are welcome in love and grace.
May you find rest and renewal.
May you find hope, love and peace.
This is what god offers to us all.

UPCOMING EVENTS
SAFETY
FIRST
The safety of every child is our utmost concern. To ensure this, parents or guardians must personally "check in" each child and receive a security tag that corresponds to the child's profile. During pickup, children will only be released to adults who can present the matching security tag.
CREATIVE
TEACHING
At Patch Church, we offer a comprehensive curriculum designed to meet the needs of every child, providing various activities at different levels to foster their growth and development. Our Path leaders gather regularly, actively engaging with the children and continually learning fresh ideas to share the love of Jesus.
FUN
SPACE
We put in dedicated efforts to create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, channeling our energy towards ensuring that learning and engagement become enjoyable experiences. Through our engaging songs, and crafts, your child will leave Sunday mornings brimming with excitement!
