Paxton United Methodist Church exists to grow and share God’s Love.
We welcome anyone in need of a local church home to come and join us in worship and service.
“Every morning is Easter morning….”
Do you know the Easter season on the Christian calendar lasts 50 days, until Pentecost?
A blessed Easter to you!
Christ is Risen!
Christ is Risen Indeed!
Goin’ Fishing…. For People?!
The season between Easter and Pentecost offers the perfect opportunity to sharpen our skills in sharing the Good News. “Fishing for People” is not just a metaphor; it’s a commissioning given directly by Jesus. In Matthew 28:19–20, He tells us:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Join us during worship and in the adult Sunday School class as we discover new ways to fish for people, in Jesus name.

I am no longer my own, but thine.
Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee, exalted for thee or brought low for thee.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it. And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven. Amen.
– The Wesley Covenant Prayer
