Holy Sacraments
Baptisms
Baptism in the United Methodist Church is a covenant between the one being baptized and God in which God’s word proclaims our adoption by grace and we promise faith and love. It begins a process of growth in grace and holiness.
We baptize infants, children as well as adult believers wishing to become part of the church, but we do not re-baptize people. In the United Methodist Church we baptize by immersion, pouring of water or sprinkling (most frequently used method).

Weddings
Couples do not need to be church members to be married at WAUMC. WAUMC became a Reconciling Congregation in 2019 and a formal Marriage Equality Policy was approved at that time.
Our Marriage Equality Policy treats ALL couples the same regardless of sexual orientation and reinforces the language in our Welcoming Statement,
“We open our doors to everyone to participate fully in the life, fellowship, leadership, ministry, rites and sacraments of our church.”
Couples interested in being married at or through WAUMC should contact the church office: waumchurch@gmail.com or 414-453-0700
Funerals
The deceased or their family do not need to be members to be buried through WAUMC.
The pastor conducts the service which may include hymns, a sermon and a eulogy by a close friend or family member. If the body is not present for the service, a memorial service will be arranged.
