Pastor's Welcome

Welcome to Midvale United Methodist Church. I am delighted to serve this fine, active congregation of Christian disciples growing in Christ Jesus.
    Midvale is a family-oriented small church in a growing suburb of New Jersey. Active in community and global service, Midvale's influence reaches beyond the four walls of its sanctuary. Midvale is a church where guests become friends and friends become family.
    On Sunday mornings worship is at 9:30 a.m. with a time of fellowship to follow. Children are dismissed for Sunday School following their time in worship. Child care for children too young for Sunday School is provided. Persons of all nations and ages worship here on any given Sunday. I hope you will join us.
    Our story begins in 1867 when Midvale United Methodist Church was incorporated and a small sanctuary built Located on one site for 43 years, the church building was physically moved to its current location and a new sanctuary added in 1911. An education wing was added in 1970. This wing houses the church office, a thrift shop named the Second Mile Thrift Shop and a nursery school called the Ringwood Cooperative Nursery School and Sunday School classrooms.
    Please stop by this web site again. Updated periodically, this site is both an introduction to and along the information highway. For more information on beliefs and practices in the United Methodist tradition click here and select "what we believe on the right."
    Midvale is a church growing in Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit which unites us with God our maker, creator and friend.

Grace and peace,

Donald F. DeGroat,
pastor
