A Message from Pastor Jane

Welcome to the United Methodist Church of Palm Springs…or as I often call it, the United Methodist Church for Palm Springs! I am thrilled to lead this congregation in all the ways it says “yes” to sharing God’s love - and Kingdom Party - with our community. As you journey through these pages, may your soul be fed and your heart strangely warmed! I hope to see you online, at our campus, or around town sometime soon.

  • Finished Compost Sign Up

    Look at this beautiful tree on the UMCPS campus! Just to the south of this tree are the compost “brewing bins” that were started last April to divert post-consumer food products from the feeding ministry into rich compost for landscaping and “maybe” a vegetable garden. Compost is created from organics(food), mulch (from trees), air and water. Would you like to use some of this rich compost material for your outdoor plants that need a little encouragement? If you are interested, click the sign up button below or contact the church office.

🌈 All Means All!

 

We are a proud member of the Reconciling Ministries Network. We support and welcome all people regardless of age, race, economic or marital status, gender identity or sexual orientation.

United Methodist Church of Palm Springs is blessed to have a leadership team who each do their part to help us make a good difference in the world.

We are committed to helping you connect with life-giving community and to make a positive difference in the world.

 

We are all about helping people find community connection within a faith context. At UMCPS, we encourage each person to be themselves: to bring their questions, their doubts, their sexual identity, their deepest passions and values - and lean into the community with trust. A lot of people move to the Coachella Valley looking for a deep sense of community in the second half of life - each year, more folks discover this at UMCPS, often in ways that defy expectations.

 

We do a lot to try to bless our neighbors. We are in the kitchen several times each week, preparing meals for hungry neighbors. We provided a Cooling Center for homeless neighbors through much of 2021. We care about seniors who face increased life challenges in the later years of their lives. We care deeply about racial equity - supporting our local Black Lives Matter movement. We are invested in LGBTQ civil rights and full social inclusion. We care about kids in our community, especially kids who are living in poverty or who are at risk of violence. On any of these fronts, there are regular ways for you to become involved and join us in blessing our neighbors - and church membership is not required!

About Us & Our Core Values

Embrace Hospitality – We seek to cultivate a greater sense of authentic community in our valley, by embracing all of God’s children with hospitality and respect. All means all.

Nurture Spiritualty – Spirituality is a Journey, lived across a lifetime - not a destination. We seek to encourage and to challenge one another toward a beautiful journey in the Way of Jesus.

Serve Hope – We are committed to serving our neighbors, grounded in the hope that life really can get better for all of us.

Play! - God is a never-ending fount for joy in life. We choose to live in God’s joy, with a spirit of lightheartedness and humor permeating our life together.
