About Babylon United Methodist Church
Babylon United Methodist Church, founded in 1831 and housed in its current early American Gothic sanctuary since 1859, serves the Babylon, New York community as a beacon of faith grounded in the conviction that God is love. Led by Pastor Melissa Boyer, the church welcomes everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, or background—into full participation in its life and ministry. The congregation gathers for joyful, vibrant worship featuring congregational hymns, contemporary music from the worship band Rising Tide, and a special children's message each Sunday. Beyond worship, Babylon UMC offers Sunday School for children preschool through high school, Methodist Youth Fellowship for grades six through twelve, small group Bible studies, community service through its soup kitchen and food pantry, and mission work including the Appalachia Service Project.
