When you come…
The United Methodist Church of Anoka is a diverse and growing community with a warm sense of fellowship, a great spirit, a challenging vision and an exciting enthusiasm. Below are some things you may want to know before you come. Please also feel free to contact us through our website under “Contact Us.”
UMCA is located on the corner of South Street and 9th Avenue in Anoka. We have two parking lots and the south lot behind the church has handicap accessibility.
For parents with babies and young children ages infant to 3-years old, we offer a nursery at both the 8:30am and 10:00am worship services. Our nursery is on the second floor of the Sunday school wing and is staffed with paid nursery assistants. They are CPR/first aid certified and three are safe sanctuaries trained. Our Nursery supervisor is a registered nurse. (No nursery is offered on Memorial Weekend, Fourth of July Weekend and Labor Day Weekend.)
Sunday school for all ages meets at 10:00am from September to May. All teachers go through training that includes safe sanctuaries and background checks. Our Director of Children and Family Ministries, Emily Wise, will be happy to help your children get settled in a class.
For parents of teenagers, 8th & 9th Grade Confirmation meets from 9-9:55am so youth may attend 10am worship with their parents. (September to May) All other grades 6, 7 10-12 meet at 10am for Sunday school. (September-May) Youth group meets Wednesday evenings as part of LIVE DEEP (also September to May.) Our Director of Youth and Families, Meghan Anderson, can help ease the transition for teens.
Worship experiences are a blend of traditional and contemporary styles with a variety of music. (Also see the “Music Ministry” tab for groups and details.) Dress is relaxed--some people dress up, some people don't.
Holy Communion is celebrated the first Sunday of each month and at special times throughout the year. All are welcome at the United Methodist Communion Table and it is an important family time for UMCA. Children remain with their families on communion Sundays.

Northern Light Welcome
Our new worship site in Ramsey, Northern Light Church has begun. We'd like to "shower" the new site with items they need. A registry at Target was set up at the link below. If you can help, thank you!
