Clarendon United Methodist Church

Changes:

• Name:Clarendon United Methodist Church
• Website URL:https://www.clarendonumc.org
• Summary:The church is a Reconciling Ministries congregation with an explicit inclusive welcome (RMN affiliation and many staff pronouns), rooted in a Sunday school beginning in 1901 and housed in its Ashton Heights building since 1941 (expanded in 1951, renovated 2001). Music and worship arts are a focal point—there is a pipe organ, an active choir and bell program (Sept–May), a Youth Choir and Wesley Ringers, and a regular Concerts at Clarendon series that welcomes the wider community. Visitors can join in-person worship Sundays at 10:00 AM (live-streamed and uploaded to YouTube) with weekly Communion, nursery and children’s programs that return kids for communion, and a friendly post-worship “Chat & Chew”; the congregation also offers daily 7:00 AM Zoom prayer calls, a weekly e-newsletter, virtual tours, and active social media. The building is accessible (elevator), seats about 300, is a short five-block walk from the Clarendon Metro, and provides many pathways for connection—short-term Serve Teams, Life/Small Groups, student gatherings, community events, and facility rentals.
