“It is no good asking for a simple religion. After all, real things are not simple.
They look simple, but they are not.”

The United Methodist Church of Hyde Park believes that the current stress on vaccinations is proper, faithful, and the best tool forward in dealing with serious diseases.
Everyone who can should be immunized.
Vulnerable populations and those who are unable to be vaccinated should continue to watch from home, but if God so compels you to seek out in-person worship, please wear your mask and social distance as much as possible.
This has been the standing policy of UMCHP and will be our continuing policy.
Worship is not an option. Worship is essential and a right.

United Methodist Church of Hyde Park
DIRECTOR OF YOUTH MINISTRIES
Job Description
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
Welcome to the website of the United Methodist Church of Hyde Park, 1 Church Street, Hyde Park, NY 12538.
We are an active and responsive part of the greater Hyde Park community, reaching out and welcoming in the name of Jesus Christ. We are a missional church whose primary goal is to form dedicated Christians who embody Jesus' world view not only when gathered on Sunday, but in every facet of our lives. To this end we sow seeds of care and hope in our world, seeking to shore up the blessings of our community and perfect it in the loving nature of our faith.
We have programs aimed at learning, fellowship, discipleship, missions, you name it, but these are simply a means of witnessing to a greater love and sacrificial commitment that we have to one another and our world. This love and commitment cannot be held behind doors, while it can be celebrated there. This love and commitment welcomes in, but goes out to meet the wanderer on the roadside.
We would love to welcome you to spend some time getting to know us. You can do that as easily as looking over and plumbing the depths of this website. But really knowing us is helping us to both celebrate and encourage the greater Hyde Park community through the outreach we have. You are always welcome to come worship with us at any of our three Sunday morning services, which are joy filled Holy Spirit led encounters with a living and vital God.
Blessing to you on your journey, and know that God loves you so much that He died to prove it.
Our Mission Statement:
"Under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, we are a worshiping community, seeking the will of God, teaching the word of God, and sharing the love of God."
