Welcome to St John’s United Methodist Church. We have been serving in ministry in the city of Fruitland since 1849. We are committed to sharing the Word of God and to exploring how we can be part of God’s ongoing work in our community. We would love to meet you!

Our worship service begins at 9:45 am and is followed by coffee hour the first Sunday of the month. Sunday School classes for children and youth meet during the service and we also have a nursery available. We also offer opportunities to connect with God and each other during the week through Bible studies (Zoom) and other activities. We have devices available for the hearing impaired at every service.

We hope you will join us for worship soon!

Happy New Year!

As we look out over the horizon of this new year, I probably don't need to remind you that none of us knows what tomorrow holds. This is why it is so important to keep our eyes focused on our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the one who holds all our tomorrows.  I want to share a special New Year message.

Most of us have either purchased a new car or at least taken a ride in a brand-new vehicle with the “new smell” still fully intact. Yet, it doesn't take too long for the “new” to become “old” or at least that feeling of new to wear off.

There's a powerful old scripture in the Bible that I believe is still relevant in this new day and age we live in. Isaiah 43:19 (NKJV) “Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”I realize this was written to the people of that day; however, I believe we still serve a mighty God who longs to do “new things” in our lives. Yet, these things God wants to do are usually facilitated by our willingness and desire to cooperate.

There may be some in our midst attempting to look out over the weeks and months ahead and only see a “dry wilderness.” Yet, let me remind you that He can still make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert!I want to encourage you today to allow the Lord to do “a new thing” in your heart, marriage, job, church, school, or community! While we all will continue to go through times of refining and even trials, we serve a God who is faithful and WILL bring us through as we trust Him!

Happy New Year!
