Our History -
Sunrise UMC came to life at our first worship celebration on November 3, 1996. Under the leadership of the founding pastor, a committed group began meeting for worship at Holly Springs Elementary School. From those first days, the people of Sunrise have looked ahead to where Christ would lead us.

On Easter Sunday, 2001, we had the first worship service in our present building. Since then we have continued to worship, serve, and grow.
As we continue to discern the vision of God for Sunrise Church, we are encouraged that you are interested in becoming part of the fellowship here. Whether you have just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, there is place for you at Sunrise.

 
 
Who are we at Sunrise?
• We strive to touch your heart and stretch your mind.
• We accept you as you are, while challenging you to be all that God is calling you to be.
• We are a congregation that gathers to worship, learn and fellowship, then scatters to serve others in the name of Jesus Christ.

As Christians we believe:
• In God the Father in whose image you are formed, who loves you, and wants to be in relationship with you.
• In Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father. Jesus was crucified for your sins, he died and was buried. On the third day He rose from the dead and is your only hope for salvation.
• In the Holy Spirit who is sent to comfort you and teach you until Jesus comes again. It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that you can have faith and can lead a life of Christian discipleship.

As a United Methodist Congregation:
• We proclaim the gospel through faithful biblical preaching and teaching.
• We encourage a strong, warm-hearted personal relationship with Jesus.
• We are called to serve our Lord, our Church, our Community and our World through our prayers, presence, gifts and our Christian service.

 
 

We welcome everyone into the
church to experience the good
news of Jesus Christ!
