Rooted In Faith- Deep Roots in KW!

McKendree Church has a rich history in King William, and as of Fall 2024, we proudly celebrated our transition from the United Methodist Church to an Independent Church that is Rooted In Faith. We are eager to focus our missions on serving our local community!

Founded in 1886, McKendree Methodist Church began when four families gathered for worship in the front yard of Chestnut Grove. The church building was completed in 1890 and named after the first American-born Methodist Bishop, William McKendree, who was born in King William County on July 6, 1757. Remarkably, he spent his first seven years just five miles from the site where our church now stands. In 2013, we dedicated a new fellowship hall to further enhance our community services.

A Little Church with a Big Heart!

McKendree is a small church located in rural King William, VA, where visitors and new members often comment on our welcoming, family-like atmosphere. Our charming country church, established in 1890, continues to grow as a body of Christ dedicated to meeting both the spiritual and practical needs of our members and the broader community through worship, service, and outreach programs. We invite you to visit us and become part of our loving family in Christ!

Our members are passionate and actively engaged in supporting the residents of King William through Christ-centered missions. We are especially blessed to have a vibrant youth group, with students ranging from kindergarten to 12th grade.

Summer Series on the God of the Bible

We have completed our Red Letter Sermon series, but we must never stop reading God's Word and reflecting on it as if He is speaking directly to us—because He is! As you read the letters (the words of Jesus), remember that it is God communicating with us! With this in mind, our summer series will focus on the God of the Bible.

Summer Sermon Series - Gospel Doctrine
"Churches need to call people not merely to improve but to repent, and not to believe in ourselves but to believe in Christ!” We will dig into who God is, what the Bible reveals about Him, and how this knowledge can apply to our lives.

We know God so we can lead others to Him!

We will also have Gospeler Part I and Part II this summer. These sessions will be exciting, as they will be led by our Thursday night Bible study group. They will share their takeaways from the study and how we can go into the world to speak of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The beautiful thing is that anyone can do it, and just as Jesus showed us, it starts one conversation at a time! We do not need to be yelling at non-believers or believers; rather, we should engage in meaningful conversations.

As with anything in our walk with Christ, there are times to be bold and loud, and there are times to use conversations to guide people to Him.
