Welcome to the web site for Kingsley United Methodist Church.
Kingsley has been serving the Lord on
the corner of 9th and Cranberry since 1907 and continues
to look for ways to bring the good news to the City of Erie and the
world.
We provide a variety of worship
services to help people connect with God in a way that is
inspirational and meaningful to them. On Saturday evenings at 6 we
offer Worship that rocks in the
Haven. On Sunday morning we
offer a traditional service in the sanctuary at 11:00 a.m.
Our sanctuary was built in 1927 and
features beautiful stained glass windows that tell the story of Jesus
Christ and help you reflect on the meaning of His life. We also
installed a new Phoenix organ in 2005 that provides beautiful music
in a variety of styles. Seating for up to 300 provides a wonderful
place to experience the presence of God in a place that people have
been meeting God for more than 80 years.
The
Haven was created in the
lower level of the church in 2005 to provide a comfortable informal
setting that would allow people to experience the presence of God. We
use this area for our Saturday night Worship that Rocks service where
jeans and t-shirts or whatever you’re comfortable in is the
expected dress and where you can connect with that are on their own
faith journey.
We also have a number of other events in this area
that help us get to know our neighbors. We offer a Karaoke Night the
second Friday of each month, a movie night the third Friday of the
month and Open Mic Night the fourth Friday of each month. Our house
band, Reigning Grace provides the music most nights but we also host a
number of guest bands throughout the year. Our worship leader, Glenn
Rankin, provides free guitar lessons each Monday night at 6:00PM.
We welcome you to visit us and experience the presence of God in any of our worship services or
other ministries. We hope that as you explore through our site you
will find many things that help you in your faith journey and as you
learn about the many ministries of Kingsley you will want to join us
and become a part of our Kingsley family.
