The Cottage Grove United Methodist Church welcomed me and my family with open arms and encouraged me to grow spiritually and participate actively in the work and worship here.

Here I come to worship, be nourished and strengthened along with my fellow Christians. I am also excited to serve, contribute to, and encourage the membership of this church as, together with the leadership team, we guide and nurture our collective family while serving our larger Cottage Grove Community.
