Come as you are! We can’t wait to get to know you, the beautiful YOU God has created.

We are more concerned with people’s hearts than what they are wearing. Feel free to wear what you’re comfortable in.

We offer both traditional and contemporary services. Worship in the style you prefer: all is for God’s glory.

Don’t be alarmed when you see an Irmo PD presence on campus; they’re here for everyone’s safety.

Our nursery is staffed by trained and background-checked caregivers, ready to love on children 0-3 years old. But babies are welcome in “big church” too!

Every Sunday, except the 1st Sunday, children leave before the sermon for their own church experience. But children are welcome to stay in worship too!

Welcome to Union United Methodist Church!

Join us for Christmas at Union! We celebrate the Christmas season and the coming of Jesus' birth through many events during the month of December. All are invited and welcome at every event.


Below you will find a listing of events and details for each. We look forward to seeing you!

Events & Worship
The Living Christmas Story
December 6-8 - 6:30-9:00 p.m.

The Living Christmas Story is a drive-through "living" story of Jesus' birth.


Come enjoy this free event as you drive along a 1/3 mile route through the church’s parking area, which has been transformed into the city of Bethlehem to re-enact the ‘greatest story ever told.’ This is a gift to our community with no admission fee.

Selections will range from literature in the Anglican tradition to contemporary choral music. The Chancel Choir will be joined by an orchestra to lead a dynamic service during Advent. We would love to have you and your family in attendance!


Contemporary worship service will be held in the Chapel at 11 a.m. on this Sunday to accommodate the orchestra.

Micah 5: 2-5a (NLT)

His family tree is ancient and distinguished. Meanwhile, Israel will be in foster homes until the birth pangs are over and the child is born, and the scattered brothers come back home to the family of Israel.

      He will stand tall in his shepherd-rule by God's strength, centered in the majesty of God-Revealed. And the people will have a good and safe home, for the whole world will hold him in respect -- Peacemaker of the world!"
