Contemporary (Common Ground) Service

Sunday, June 26, 2022

On Sunday, June 26, 2022, Pender Lead Pastor Will White will preach on "Brought Home in the Spirit" based on 2 Kings 2:1-2 and 2 Kings 2:6-14.

Home is a recurring theme for worship. The call to come home, the desire to go home, feeling a sense of home all strike at the heart of who we are as human beings. This is why we return again and again to these themes. Plus, it seems to be prevalent in the scriptures. However, as with most things, Jesus is inviting us to think differently about home and what it means to be at home—not so much the warm and cozy hearth and home, but the relationships and commitments that we have within the human community.

Next Contemporary Worship June 26 at 11:15 am


Welcome to Common Ground

Not everyone is cut out for the same worship style.

Common Ground is Pender United Methodist Church's contemporary worship experience led by our worship leader and a rock-style worship band. You'll find worship to be more interactive and energetic, and you'll hear messages that are relevant to everyday life. 

Young children are more than welcome! We have a play area within our worship space set aside just for them, or they can enjoy our awesome Sunday school program. We also have paid staff nursery care available for our littlest ones.

You will leave feeling closer to Jesus, challenged and more prepared to serve Him, and warmed by a relationship in a genuine community of Christ-followers. We hope to see you soon!
