about us
Ooltewah United Methodist Church has been making a difference in the Ooltewah community for over 150 years!
In 1867 there was an organizational meeting that led to what is now Ooltewah United Methodist Church. Ooltewah UMC is much more than just a beautiful campus and functional buildings – the real heart of OUMC is found in the people that make up the congregation. Folks from all walks of life have called OUMC home for more than 150 years. Their ministry has helped families in need right here in our own community.
what we believe
The good news of Jesus’ kingdom has been proclaimed through sermons, hymns and choir specials. Abiding friendships have been formed and nourished as people gather in small groups throughout the week to study, learn, serve and pray together. Children from India to Vietnam to Ecuador have been served by loving mission teams. Disaster relief has been shared with thousands, and hundreds of thousands of dollars has been sent to the four corners of the world in support of the mission of Jesus. Suffering has been alleviated, bodies have been clothed, bills have been paid, backpacks have been stuffed, needs have been met-all from a congregation of people who pledge to live out what it means to be an authentic follower of Christ in today’s world.
