Life Together
Life together at Pleasant Street United Methodist Church is about more than attending Sunday worship—it’s about belonging to a loving, Christ-centered community that cares for one another and the world around us. Located in the heart of Waterville, Maine, our church is a place where faith and friendship meet, where every person is valued, and where the love of God is shared through both words and action.
At Pleasant Street UMC, we believe that growing in faith happens best in community. Each week, we gather to worship, pray, and learn together, drawing closer to God and to one another. But our life together extends beyond the church walls. Through fellowship events, small groups, service projects, and simple acts of kindness, we experience the joy of being part of a family that lives out God’s love in everyday life.
A Welcoming and Inclusive Community
We welcome everyone, no matter your background, age, or where you are on your spiritual journey. Whether you have been part of a church your whole life or are exploring faith for the first time, you will find open hearts, open minds, and open doors here. Our congregation reflects the warmth and diversity of Waterville’s community, and we are united by a shared desire to love God and serve others.
Our Sunday gatherings are times of celebration and reflection, featuring meaningful worship, uplifting music, and messages that connect Scripture to real life. But what truly makes our church special is the genuine care people show for one another. Members check in on each other, share meals, lend helping hands, and offer prayers through life’s challenges and joys. That spirit of compassion is what makes Pleasant Street UMC a home for the soul.
Faith in Action
Our life together includes putting faith into practice. We believe that following Christ means serving others with humility and love. Through our ministries and outreach efforts, we partner with local organizations to meet needs in our community—from supporting the Waterville Food Bank and local soup kitchens to helping families through our Kindness Center and other outreach programs. Each ministry gives us an opportunity to reflect Christ’s compassion and bring hope to those who need it most.
We also offer opportunities for learning and spiritual growth. Bible studies, discussion groups, and educational programs for all ages help us deepen our understanding of Scripture and discover how God’s word applies to daily living. Children, youth, and adults alike are encouraged to ask questions, share experiences, and grow in faith together.
Fellowship and Connection
Life together also means celebrating the joys of fellowship. Whether it’s gathering for coffee after worship, enjoying a potluck dinner, or joining a community service day, our events are filled with laughter, encouragement, and friendship. We know that faith grows stronger when shared, and that God calls us to live in harmony and unity.
In every activity—whether worship, service, or simple conversation—we seek to reflect the love of Christ. Our church family is one where everyone belongs, everyone matters, and everyone has a place to serve and grow.
