Will there be inflated bounce houses, parties, and kids in the same building during worship services?
No. Pump It Up opens for business at 1:00 pm on Sundays. All Saints UMC will be the only activity at Pump It Up each Sunday morning. On some occasions, inflatables may be available for children after the service, but not during the service.

Is there a nursery for infants and toddlers?
Yes. A staffed nursery is available for infants and toddlers. We have pagers so that parents can be notified if they are needed during the service.

Are there spaces for children, youth, and adult Sunday School classes?
Yes. There is space for children’s church, youth, and adult Sunday School classes. Some small groups will continue to meet during the week in homes and the All Saints UMC Administrative Offices.

How big is the worship space?
The night before the Sunday service, the inflatables are deflated and rolled out of the way. Sunday morning, All Saints UMC team members will set up the worship space. The church has 300 cushioned chairs available.

What can I expect?
The Pump It Up building is a bright and colorful space where children play and celebrate every day. All Saints UMC services are a notch down from that—still bright and colorful while maintaining a respectful worship experience.

Are the worship services contemporary or traditional?
All Saints UMC worship services are a mix of United Methodist Church contemporary and traditional styles. You can expect handshakes and hugs, contemporary and traditional music, Bible readings, a message, and Communion. Feel free to raise your hands in praise—or not. There will not be smoke, bright flashing lights, and loud music.

What kind of music can we expect?
All services include an electric keyboard and a choir or soloist. Contemporary music includes a guitar player. There are no bands, electric guitars, or drums. However, don’t be surprised if occasionally those are offered during worship.

Can I join the choir or share my musical talent in a service?
Yes! Especially if you play an acoustic guitar. Speak with the choir director or pastors.

Is Communion served at every Sunday service?
Yes. All Saints worship services include a short Communion at the end of each service. The sharing of the sacrament of Communion is by intinction- you are given a piece of bread, then you dip the bread into a chalice of non-alcoholic grape juice. See Luke 22:14-20.

At All Saints UMC, the worship service and Communion table is open to all without condition. We extend the unconditional grace and love of God to all individuals, of any degree of faith or doubt, embodying a non-judgmental culture of grace and understanding, reflecting the essence of Jesus’ message of love and redemption.

How do people dress for worship services?
Dress up or be appropriately casual. Inappropriate, political, or offensive clothing is not conducive to an enjoyable worship experience.

Can I bring a beverage or food to the worship service?
Pump It Up does not allow any food or beverages in the space that is used for worship. You can enjoy drinks, snacks, and fellowship in the lobby.

Can I help set up and take down the worship space each week?
Absolutely! The set-up team meets at 8:00 am. Take-down begins immediately after the worship service ends.

Will a video of the worship service be available online?
Yes. Services may be streamed live on Facebook, or recorded and posted Sunday afternoons on the All Saints UMC Facebook page and YouTube Channel.

How can I help?
Start by being part of our worship services. Bring a friend or family member. Like our social media posts, and watch our videos on Facebook and YouTube, and share them. Pray for our future and those who are without a church home in our area.
