What should I wear?
Come as you are! You’ll find people wearing everything from jeans and casual clothes to dresses, slacks, and button-downs. Wear whatever makes you comfortable.

Where should I park?
Parking is available around the church and across Oakley street. We share the parking lot with the neighborhood. For the 9:00 service, the side and back lots provide easy access to the Sanctuary - you are welcome to walk through the building to get to the Sanctuary. For 11:00, the back lot is closest to the Gym, which we call the Crossroads Center.

What about my kids?
Children are welcome in both services. At 11:00, elementary-age children are invited to Children's Church during the sermon, and nursery care is available for children from birth through age 4.

How long is worship?
Both of our Sunday services last about an hour.

Do you have coffee?
Absolutely! You'll find fresh coffee, pastries, and other sweet treats in our café area in the Crossroads Center (Gym). You're welcome to enjoy your coffee there or bring it with you into worship.

We're proud to serve Deep Time Coffee, a local coffee roaster from Asheville, NC, whose mission is "to employ, celebrate and create a spiritual community with people impacted by incarceration." You can even purchase a bag to enjoy at home!

Do you have Sunday School?
We currently have 3 different adult classes that meet at 10:00 AM. We also have seasonal classes and studies. 
​
What if I’m not sure what I believe?
That’s okay. You don’t have to have your faith figured out before you walk through our doors. Questions, doubts, curiosity, and uncertainty are all welcome here. We believe church can be a place where we explore faith together, not a place where everyone has to have the same answers.

What if I’m not United Methodist?
You don’t have to be! Our church includes people from different traditions and backgrounds, as well as people who are new to church altogether. You don’t need to be United Methodist or know anything about Methodism, to worship, participate, or find community here.
​
Can I receive Communion?
Yes! We celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of each month, and our table is open to everyone. You do not have to be a member of Pineville UMC, or even a United Methodist, to receive Communion. In the United Methodist tradition, we believe Christ invites us to the table, and all who seek to respond to that invitation are welcome.
