About Luray United Methodist Church
Luray United Methodist Church, founded around 1852, is a lively and loving congregation in the heart of Luray, Virginia. The church's sanctuary, built in limestone in 1932 following a tragic fire, reflects the commitment of its forebearers during the Great Depression, while a modern annex added in 2007 provides accessible fellowship and educational spaces. Rooted in the Methodist movement begun by John and Charles Wesley in the late 1700s, the church centers its faith on Jesus' commands to love God and love neighbors. The congregation fosters community through small groups, worship services, a preschool for young children, and various outreach ministries. Visitors are warmly invited to experience their vision of seeing God's love and sharing the joy of faith in Christ.
