Pastor's Note

Welcome to Cape May United Methodist Church! Where Faith, Love, and Community Flourish!!!!

It is such a joy to greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Whether you are visiting for the first time, searching for a church home, or simply exploring your faith journey, please know you are not here by accident. I believe God has a purpose in connecting us, and I am so grateful we can share this moment together.

At Cape May UMC, we are more than a Sunday gathering — we are a family, committed to loving God and loving people. We worship, learn, and serve together, walking alongside one another in both the joys and the challenges of life.

During the summer months we have two services – 8:00 AM & 10:30 AM!! Our 8:00 AM Cove Service is on the beach! Congregants as well as many Cape May visitors see and hear God's sermon through creation as we look at the waves and hear the sea gulls celebrating God with us.

Our ministries — from Bible study to children's programs, from grief counseling to community outreach — exist to nurture the heart, strengthen the spirit, and reflect the hope we have in Christ.

As Cape May UMC's new pastor, starting on July 1st, 2025, my heart is to walk with congregants and visitors in faith, to celebrate God's presence not only within these church walls but in the everyday moments of life. My journey — from my roots in Barbados to years of service in churches and the nonprofit work in New York City — has taught me that God's love knows no boundaries. It reaches into workplaces, neighborhoods, and homes, transforming hearts wherever it is welcomed.

Whether you are here for a season or a lifetime, we want you to know this: you belong here. We welcome your questions, your gifts, your story, and your heart. Our prayer is that you will find Cape May UMC to be a place of grace, growth, and genuine connection — a place where your faith can flourish and your soul can rest in God's peace.

May you be encouraged as you worship with us, and may the love of Christ meet you in a fresh and personal way today.

With love and blessings,

Pastor Peggy
Senior Pastor, Cape May United Methodist Church
