Making a big church feel more like a smaller and closer community...

We've taken the time to create opportunities for you to gather in community with people who are just like you!  Whether it's the season of life you're in, where you live, or what you love; we want you to feel that you can connect with those around you.  No matter who you are, where you come from, or how old you are...there's a place for you here at Carmel UMC!

THE DISCIPLESHIP PATHWAY

 The Discipleship Pathway is an intentionally designed process to help individuals move from one point to another in their journey with Christ.  By connecting, growing, serving, and worship; you'll be able to connect with Christ and our community in a new and renewed way.
