Sharing at Pleasant Street United Methodist Church

At Pleasant Street United Methodist Church in Waterville, Maine, sharing is more than something we do—it’s who we are. Guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we believe that God’s love is meant to be shared freely and joyfully. Through service, generosity, and fellowship, we seek to bring hope and compassion to our neighbors and community.

We are a church family built on kindness and faith. Every prayer offered, every meal prepared, and every helping hand extended reflects our commitment to living out God’s word. When we share our time, talents, and blessings, we not only strengthen our church but also share in the joy of serving others in Christ’s name.

Sharing God’s Love Through Service

At Pleasant Street UMC, service is at the heart of our mission. We believe faith becomes most meaningful when put into action. From volunteering at local food pantries to partnering with community programs and soup kitchens, our congregation actively serves the Waterville area with compassion and humility.

Through our outreach ministries—such as the Kindness Center, Food Bank, and community partnerships—we strive to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of others. Each act of service, no matter how small, is a way to express God’s love in practical, life-changing ways. When we serve together, we discover the joy of connection and the strength of a faith that moves beyond words.

Sharing Through Generosity

Generosity is another expression of God’s grace working through us. At Pleasant Street UMC, we give not out of obligation but out of gratitude. Every gift—whether it’s time, resources, or talent—helps sustain our ministries and extend care to those in need.

Our members share their abilities in countless ways: leading worship, teaching Sunday School, preparing meals, or helping maintain our historic church building. Each contribution supports our collective mission to serve Waterville and beyond. We believe that when we give with open hearts, we reflect the abundant love of God who gives to us endlessly.

Sharing Faith and Fellowship

Faith grows stronger when it is shared. Through worship, Bible study, small groups, and fellowship gatherings, we encourage one another to grow in understanding and love. We invite open dialogue, honest questions, and spiritual curiosity, believing that every person’s faith story adds richness to our life together.

Our fellowship events—whether a shared meal, a special service, or a community celebration—remind us that we are not meant to walk this journey alone. Sharing faith means walking side by side, lifting one another up, and discovering God’s presence in every moment.

Sharing Hope With Our Community

Pleasant Street United Methodist Church has long been part of the fabric of Waterville’s community life. We are dedicated to sharing hope with those who feel forgotten or discouraged. Whether through prayer, support, or simple presence, we stand beside our neighbors in both joy and hardship.

Our ministries of compassion remind us that sharing hope doesn’t always require grand gestures—it begins with listening, caring, and offering the steady assurance of God’s love. Through these efforts, we continue our mission to be a source of light, faith, and encouragement for all.
