Hosted by Patrick King, Pender's recent Director of Music with short messages from some of our choir members, this welcome video concludes with a note from Pastor Bruce Johnson.

Pender is an open and welcoming church. We embrace all people as beloved children of God and seek to follow the ways of Jesus Christ in a caring, praying community. Our mission is to offer unconditional love and acceptance to all. We do not discriminate based on age, ability, culture, gender, race, religious belief or unbelief, or sexual orientation.

Pender United Methodist Church seeks to be a Christ-centered community where lives are transformed through authentic worship, compassionate service, and bold discipleship. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we will share God’s love in Fairfax and beyond—welcoming all, growing deeper in faith, and shining the light of Christ in every corner of our world.
