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 are also part of the Fruitland area All Church Community that is working to find new ways to connect to each other and to the surrounding community. We would love to meet you!

Our worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. 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.

I hope you will join us for worship soon!

God created humanity in God’s own image, in the divine image God created them, male and female God created them.  Genesis 1:27

You are made in the image of God. You don't have to strive for it, it is your truest identity. But too often other things get in the way of our expressing that identity, sin may cover it up, we may---intentionally or not---hide it from others, we may not feel capable of living into that identity. Sometimes we are jealous, or greedy, angry or dismissive of others, our words may be harsh rather than gentle.  None of that takes away that identity. It just means we need to let go of those things and accept God's invitation through the Holy Spirit to clear away the attitudes and behaviors that are get in the way of our reflecting God's love and compassion to the world around us. So take a breath, share with God your desire to be a truer reflection of God, maybe share the places where you know that identity doesn't shine through, but mostly, thank God for creating you to mirror God's nature and character, and for the love and grace God has showered on you. 

Creator God, help me in my day-to-day life to reflect your love, compassion and kindness so that through me others may come to know you. Amen.
