Welcome

Come, we are a more complete representation of God’s unconditional love when our worship includes you, just as He made you.

Your unique race, ethnicity, or nationality broadens all of us.

Your stage of life (whether young or old, single or married, divorced or widowed) strengthens all of us.

The gift you can offer (whether time, talent, or treasure, in large or small measure) supports all of us.

The gender or sexual identity you express enriches all of us.

The God-created way your body and mind function lifts all of us.

The vote you cast, or the teams you cheer for, expands all of us. 

Each individual faith journey nourishes all of us.

We believe that God’s unconditional love includes everyone, and we mean EVERYONE!

Service Times
During the school year (usually mid-August through the end of May), we have a contemporary service at 9:30 am on Sunday mornings as well as a traditional service at 11:00 am . During the summer (usually the second Sunday of June through the beginning of August), we combine into one service at 10:00 am. This year, because of our senior pastor’s sabbatical, we are running our one service Sundays from May 17 - September 6. Our services typically run for 60 minutes.

Where Do I Go?
Parking is conveniently located all around the building. If you have children, you may want to enter through the West Entrance as this is closest to our ZUMKidz check-in area. If you could use a shorter walk into the main lobby, please feel free to use the front driveway to drop off your passengers. A limited number of parking spaces are available on the circle drive at the front of the building.

Whether you enter the building from the east or west entrance, the main lobby and sanctuary are in the very center of the building. Head down the front hallway, and you’ll be in the lobby in no time. Bathrooms are also located in the front hallway.

What about my Children/Youth?

Childcare is provided for all children from infant through preschool ages. Kindergarten-aged children & up are invited to begin the worship hour in the sanctuary. In this way, we will help all ages of our church (young and old) experience “the body of Christ” together in worship each week. Midway through the service, children through 5th grade are invited to join their friends in a Sunday School environment where they will study the same story from the Bible that adults and youth are learning about in the sanctuary. On the first Sunday of the month, children in 2nd-5th grade will rejoin their families in the sanctuary at the end of the service to take communion together.

We ask parents of all children to “check in” their child inside the West Entrance (Door 2)—both those who are joining childcare and preschool classrooms, as well as those who begin their mornings in the sanctuary before going to their classroom. Each child will receive a nametag so they can be easily identified by teachers, and parents receive a corresponding tag for safe and secure pick-up following the service. Teachers of all age levels are available before the service to meet and welcome new families (so that children and parents feel comfortable and know where they are going when a child leaves the sanctuary).

If your children wish to stay with you through the whole hour of worship, that is wonderful! We love having kids in the sanctuary! We provide “activity bags” at the entrances of our sanctuary to help children stay engaged during worship. We also provide a “resource area” in our lobby where young children can play while parents watch the service via livestream. Finally, there is a room off our lobby where nursing mothers can watch the service while caring for their children.

Youth (grades 6 & up) remain in the sanctuary with their families or friends during worship. Be sure to check out our youth page to find out all the ways they can connect in friendship and discipleship at our church!

What Should I Wear?
You’re going to find a variety of dress at Zionsville UMC - everything from suits and dresses to khakis and jeans. Our desire is that you not worry about what you’re wearing…just come as you are.
