Commonly Asked Questions
What are your service times and what should I expect?
We host two services, an 8:30am Modern Service & 10:45am Traditional Service with a 9:30am Faith and Fellowship (Kids, Youth and Adults) in between! Note that you can also worship by streaming live or watch recorded services on our website.
What is the worship service like?
We try to create a reverent and relevant worship experience. Our services meet you where you're at - whether you're brand new or have been worshipping with us for years. You can expect services of about 45 minutes and during this time, you will experience readings from the bible, a sermon, a time of prayer, and you will hear special music from music groups such as our choir, band, handbell choir, or guest musicians.
Come as you are – we’re glad you want to join us! You’ll find that people wear a range of clothing, from suits and ties to cropped pants and sandals to jerseys.

What is a “Reconciling Congregation”?
We welcome all people to gather as friends, grow in faith and share God’s love. As a testament to our mission of social justice, we embrace Jesus Christ’s example of an open heart and open mind by affirming and cherishing people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, physical and mental abilities, education, economic status and religious affiliations. We open our doors to everyone to participate fully in the life, fellowship, leadership, ministry, rites and sacraments of our church.
Do you provide childcare during church services?
We love having children join us for worship! We encourage children and their parents to worship together as they hear God's Word and sing his praise. But we know that having children in church can be a challenge and never want that to be a hindrance to coming to worship. So, we do provide a staffed nursery and Kids Church during services. Additionally, we have children's activity bags on hand for those who stay in the service. Sunday School is offered at 9:30am
Where should I park?
Access our church parking lot from Underwood Avenue (one block west) and directly across from the Wauwatosa Fire Station. There is street parking on Underwood Avenue and there are also several, free public lots (covered and uncovered) within walking distance of WAUMC, for example there is covered public parking just south of the fire station under the apartments.
