New to SPUMC Welcome to Sierra Pines United Methodist Church!
Our website give you the chance to "visit" Sierra Pines United Methodist Church before even stepping into our building. Take this opportunity to find out what we believe, read a daily devotion, or learn about what's available for children, students and adults.
We'd love the opportunity to meet you and invite you to join us for any of our two weekly services, adult classes, and various events throughout the week. Bible study, worship, and fellowship are regular components of church life at Sierra Pines UMC. Feel free to contact us with any questions, prayer requests, or for further information. We hope to see you soon!
 A Typical Sunday
You can expect to experience the most exciting church in the Auburn/Grass Valley area! God is at work in SPUMC, and most guests can sense it from the moment they walk through the front door! As you arrive...As you arrive, you will notice plenty of parking places. Handicapped and those with special needs may park immediately in front of the entrance closest to our Sanctuary in one of our many Handicapped parking spaces. A warm welcome... Coming to the front door church you should find a friendly face and warm hand shake welcoming you to our regular Sunday church family gatherings. We have members and regular attenders ready to help you find a seat and answer any questions you might have about our church. Immediately as you come in through the main front doors is our Greeting area. Genuine, authentic worship... Relevant teaching... In addition to authentic worship, you will experience relevant instruction based on the ultimate truth... God's own word as recorded in The Bible. But what is different at SPUMC is that the teaching is not just designed to fill our heads with more knowledge... it is God breathed and inspired to give us practical applications that we can use immediately to become better followers of Jesus Christ. We may be just a little biased, but we think God has blessed us with some of the best Pastor/Teacher/Shepherds in the Auburn/Grass Valley area! You and your children will also experience a group of talented and dedicated adult volunteers who teach our Sunday School classes. A "guest friendly" atmosphere... At SPUMC we do our best to welcome you as you arrive, introduce ourselves, introduce you to others, and do whatever we can to make you feel at home. During the service, the offering is intended for our members and regular attenders... guests should not feel compelled to give in any way... the service is our gift to you. As our guests, you will be receiving a "Welcome Packet" from our Welcome and Nurture team. Inside you will find a means to communicate prayer requests, requests for information, enrollment in classes or ministries and factual information about our church community... you name it. Please feel comfortable filling our guest card and dropping it in the offering plate knowing that no one is going to show up on your doorstep at dinner time unexpectedly! We respect your time and your privacy, and will only contact you if requested via the welcome card. Real people... One of the most important things our guests discover quickly is that SPUMC is a place for real people... we all have the same hurts, habits, and hang ups as everyone else. We know that we are all imperfect people in an imperfect world saved from sure destruction only by the grace of God. At SPUMC we help each other through genuine relationships, by "navigating life together". If you are tired of "plastic Christianity", or if you are tired of being beaten down by the world, then SPUMC may be exactly what you've been looking for. The bottom line... SPUMC is a family of imperfect people serving a perfect God, navigating life together, and doing everything we can to use the time, talents, and resources on loan from God to spread this "good news" of Jesus Christ to Grass Valley, Auburn, Nevada and Placer counties, , the U.S., and the world... come check us out!
