Welcome to Kilmarnock United Methodist Church!
Located in the heart of Kilmarnock, Virginia, Kilmarnock United Methodist Church (KUMC) has been making disciples of Jesus Christ since 1906.
Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.
Established in 1906
KUMC’s mother church was Rehoboth Methodist Church, just up Route 200 towards Wicomico Church on Shiloh School Road, where some of our charter members previously worshiped. Several United Methodist Churches in our area were established in the late 18th and early19th centuries. KUMC was established in 1906. The original building is pictured here.
New Sanctuary 1963
The present Sanctuary had its origin in 1956 when a building fund was established. Donations grew and ground breaking ceremonies were held on September 9, 1962. The following year, our beautiful Sanctuary was complete. A new pastor’s study and conference room were added in 1968.
Our Members
Located in the heart of Kilmarnock, Virginia, KUMC is “church home” for many lifelong members who were raised and have raised their children, grands, and great grands here in the church. Many of our members have retired here from various places around the country and are very active in our church, as well as in the Northern Neck community.
Our members represent many professional fields but we all have a common goal of reaching out to all of God’s people and making disciples.
