About Us

No matter where you are on your life's journey, we hope you find a community here at Roberts Park.
This information below is meant to make your first time visiting go as smoothly as possible.

  • Accessability

    The Vermont and Delaware entrance both have a wheelchair ramp. There is an elevator to reach the upper level, where the sanctuary is, and an entrance ramp to the sanctuary 

  • Where should I park?

    Free parking is available in an adjacent parking lot at the corner of Vermont and Alabama Street. Free parking is also available on Vermont Street and on Delaware Street on Sunday mornings.  Many people enter through the Vermont Street entrance from the parking lot; others use the doors facing Delaware Street.



  • Where do I go on Sunday morning when I arrive?

    Building: Our historic building looks a little overwhelming from the outside, but we think you will love its beautiful features once you see its interior. The building is unconventional by today’s definition in that the chapel is located on the first floor and the sanctuary is located on the second floor, which is accessible by elevator. Signs are easy to follow, and greeters and ushers will be happy to show you the way as well.


    Online: We stream all of our services here on our website, on Facebook and YouTube, and our church app. Our streams go live on 10:30 a.m. Eastern. Additionally, all of our services are here on our website or on our YouTube page.


  • What should I wear?

    Come as you are. There’s no dress code. Usual attire ranges from jeans to suits.

  • What happens during a service?

    Worship services include hymns, readings of Scripture, choral singing, messages with contemporary themes, and pipe organ musical accompaniment. An easy-to-follow printed bulletin is a guide for the service and contains information about activities and upcoming events as well.



    Each and every Sunday, we welcome visitors such as yourself. It is incredibly important to our community that we are a safe and welcoming community that does not place any undue distress on anyone, particularly newcomers. There are attendance pads located in each row, and we hope you will register your name and contact information

  • What about communion?

    Roberts Park UMC celebrates communion on the first Sunday of the month. As practicers of an open table, all are invited to commune together. We do not discriminate based on how old or young you are, whether or not you've been baptized or hold a church membership, or for any other reason. When we say all are welcome, we hold firm to the belief that all means all.


    We celebrate communion by using intinction, which is when communicants dip their bread into the common cup of grape juice and partake in the elements together. Pre-packaged elements are available for those who prefer. 


    Our communion table extends virtually, too. On the first Sunday of the month (or when you watch that worship service), participants in our online service can prepare their own communion table using elements of grain and fruit. Traditionally this looks like bread and wine or grape juice, however you're invited to use the elements that you have present and speak to you. Maybe that's crackers and wine, maybe it's tortillas and grape juice. We believe these elements will be consecrated as you participate in worship on on site, online, or on demand.

What about Children?


Children are welcome at all worship services. Children are invited to join teachers for a fun time of Children Worship & Wonder outside the sanctuary during the normal worship time. The children are dismissed during the first hymn.


Join us for coffee hour!
A casual coffee hour follows the 10:30 a.m. service every Sunday. Roberts Park is a friendly congregation, and you will probably be approached by a few people wanting to introduce themselves and chat a bit as well.


Come back to worship next week!
We hope to see you again soon. There's always something going on here at Roberts Park.
