• Summary:Larchmont United Methodist Church, founded in 1910 and conveniently located near Old Dominion University and Naval Station Norfolk, gathers in a 1954 sanctuary while the original 1911 sanctuary now serves as a lovingly restored Fellowship Hall and Gwinn Chapel (converted in 2007) hosts smaller services and memorials. The church runs a weekday food pantry (M, W, Th 9:30 AM–Noon; Tue 11:30 AM–2:00 PM) and streams worship live on YouTube and Facebook with past services archived on Subsplash for easy catch-up. Families will find a vibrant ministry for children and youth — LUMPS preschool (director Meg Ditty since 2015) with an online academic calendar and parent handbook, Sunday School for ages 2 through 5th grade plus nursery care, a Sunday-evening Beacon Youth Group (grades 6–12) with a dedicated youth room, and a 2025 VBS themed “True North.” A strong music program (year‑round chancel choir, handbells, and a modern band that rehearses midweek) complements active outreach and fellowship—annual Pumpkin Patch and Rise Against Hunger events, UMCOR kit drives, a Food Locker, a columbarium and garden, and ample green space used for picnics and community gatherings.
