About Memorial United Methodist Church

MUMC is one of 50 UM churches in the Norfolk District of the Virginia Conference.  There are a total of 18 districts in the Virginia Conference which is part of the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the United States.  Our Pastor, Rev. John Cole, was appointed to our congregation by the Bishop in 2001.  MUMC is enjoying spiritual growth under the leadership of Rev. Cole.  The Lay Leader of our congregation is Annie Lu Guertin.  Typically, each congregation of the UMC is a "charge" although there can be several smaller congregations within a charge.  Thus, our church has a Charge Conference every October with the District Superintendent and the District Lay Leader to give an account of the spiritual and physical status of the church.

The laity of our church participate in committees which oversee the spiritual and physical development of our church throughout the year.  The Admistrative Council meets monthly and hears a report from each committee chairperson.  The Memorial congregation is as a family who love and care for each other.  We welcome you to visit or revisit us soon and be a part of this church family!

Membership at Memorial United Methodist Church is open to ALL people who confess their faith in God, Jesus Christ as their LORD and Saviour, the Holy Spirit acting in their lives, the Christian Faith as it is found in the Old and New Testaments and who promise to support the church in every way.

There are 3 ways to join:

1. Profession of Faith

This is for one who has never joined a Christian Denomination, previously.


2. Reaffirmation of Faith

This is for one who desires to become an active member, again.


3. Transfer of Membership

The pastor will send a written request of transfer to your current record of membership.  All persons seeking to become a member must be Baptised whether in a United Methodist Church or other Christian Denomination. In addition, you will be required to attend sessions with the Minister on what it means to be a United Methodist. Moreover, The United Methodist Church is a part of the apostolic sucession of the Christian Church; therefore, any claims of distinction or difference from the ecumenical community requires additional steps.
