Sunday Worship

Our Sunday worship is held each week at 10 a.m. in the sanctuary. Currently, masks are required for all people over the age of 2 inside church buildings. The worship service is also live streamed each week on our YouTube channel.

Services are open to everyone and include hymn singing, choral and instrumental music, reading of scripture, prayer and teaching. Communion is offered on the first Sunday of each month. The congregation is open and welcoming.

Children are particularly welcome in the worship service, with activity pages for them to use in the sanctuary and a special “Brief Message” time devoted to their participation and learning. Childcare is provided for nursery-age children and a lesson related to the sermon is given during the sermon is offered for children through the fifth-grade.

Monday morning book discussion

Every Monday morning at 9 a.m., we gather to discuss a book. This group meets in the Lombard Lounge at AUMC. To learn more, contact the church office.

Saturday Hiking Group

Everyone is welcome to join the large group of dedicated hikers which forms the Second Saturday Hiking Group. Each month this group explores one of the many great hiking trails in San Luis Obispo County. Each trail is a unique joy to encounter; some trails are long and some are short, some are steep and some are an easy ramble.  What is always the same is a great blend of delightful hikers fascinated by God’s amazing world.

All the hikes start by meeting at the church at 9 a.m. on the second Saturday of each month.  When gathered, they carpool to the trailhead.  The hikers usually stop for lunch at the end of the trail and then head back to the cars.
