Welcome to Lake Harriet United Methodist Church!
Are you looking for a place to worship God in new and numerous ways? Or maybe you want to find a church with outstanding children’s and youth education programs? Or maybe you’re seeking a welcoming and safe place to grow in your individual faith? If you want to be a part of a faith community dedicated to social justice and rooted in scripture, look no further than Lake Harriet United Methodist Church (LHUMC).
We are a community of faith, centered in Christ, and welcome all God’s people–that means everyone– to explore and deepen their relationship with God here. We believe each of us is on a spiritual journey no matter what our age and at LHUMC, we are strengthened and encouraged to grow in faith when we worship, study, pray, play, and serve together.
Our membership is filled with interesting people and personalities–musicians, writers and actors, doctors and teachers, marketers and managers, architects, engineers and more – who use their gifts, skills, and talents to serve God and God’s people. Please browse through our website to learn more about LHUMC, the people who worship here, the causes we champion and the educational and growth opportunities we offer. Or better yet, come and visit us in person. We'd like to get to know you.

Worship in September: Sermon Series on The Social Principles of the United Methodist Church
The United Methodist Church Social Principles are a call to a “prayer, studied dialogue of faith and practice.” Every four years, since 1908, our denomination has adopted positions (but not church laws) regarding human issues in the contemporary world using a sound biblical and theological foundation. They are intended to be instructive, persuasive and prophetic.
September 7 is the introduction to the Social Principles, focusing on the Natural World, Pastor Lyndy Zabel preaching
September 14, we will concentrate on the Nurturing and Social Community, Pastor Lyndy Zabel preaching.
September 21, the Economic and Political Community, Pastor Lyndy Zabel preaching.
September 28, the World Community, Pastor Tyler Christiansen preaching.
Come also to enjoy the choir singing at 9:30 each Sunday, and the Shout Band and drama team at 11:00.

Join in on the New LHUMC Blog
Lake Harriet United Methodist has a new blog, called The Cookie Table. At LHUMC on Sunday mornings, the cookie table in our Commons is often the most exciting place to be before, after, and between services. People gather around the table for discussion, stories and updates. We hope that our new blog will be a place for these same activities.
There will be a new topic for discussion frequently - join in!
