If you are visiting Lake Eufaula for the weekend or are here on a vacation, WELCOME! Do not feel like you have to "dress up" to worship. We have lots of weekend visitors, and we would love to have you in either service.

If you are a resident of the Checotah area, why not try us out if you do not have a church home? Who knows, you might like us!! We are a mainline United Methodist Church, proclaiming the Gospel message of hope and grace.

We truly believe in Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors. We will not 'pester' you with visits and phone calls. But we would love to see you! We also realize you have many great faith communities to choose from in our town, and if you do choose us we will do our best to help you feel welcome! Let us know how we can be in ministry to you.
