WELCOME
Isn’t it amazing to think about spring? After a long, cold winter where the ground freezes over and the once-lush trees lie in a state of hibernation, the signs of life appear all around us. Flowers introduce startling new colors to barren, dusty fields. Birds sing their lovely songs to welcome in each new day. Every major league baseball team starts their season with promise and hope.. at least for now.
Perhaps your soul is thirsty and longing for awakening. Perhaps you’ve gone through a time of spiritual hibernation and God is actively knocking at the door of your heart. If this is the case for you, I hope you’ll take the next step and respond.
Faith United Methodist Church is a church family dedicated to connecting and reconnecting folks to Jesus Christ. We are a faith community that gathers together to worship, love, and remind one another that God is alive and still at work offering new life and hope to ordinary people like you and me.
As for our history - Faith is a congregation with roots in three local congregations. These congregations (from Midlothian, Oak Forest, and Orland Park) gave up their former names and buildings to become a church that can carry on the mission of Jesus Christ – serving as His hands and feet in the world.

Starting this Sunday, June 2, we are starting our summer sermons called “Family Tree.” This series will take us through the incredibly complicated and convoluted stories of our faith ancestors. You’ll be amazed to see how God could use such ordinary people for God’s incredible purposes.
