Welcome
Welcome to Castle Rock United Methodist Church
Castle Rock UMC is a welcoming faith community at the heart of our town—where neighbors gather to worship, serve, and grow together in Christ’s love. We care deeply for our community and work to share hope through service, prayer, and friendship.
We’re also part of the Lower Columbia United Methodist Connection, a family of five United Methodist churches along the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon. Together we share ministries, resources, and vision while celebrating each congregation’s unique story and a regional fellowship of Longview, Kalama, Castle Rock, Rainier, and St. Helens First UMC—working together to share Christ’s love through worship, service, and community across the Columbia River region.

Holy Thursday Service
Tenebrae Service, April 2 at Noon
Join us for soup and fellowship to meditate on the Scriptures and music.
Tenebrae, meaning “darkness,” is a reflective and solemn service that walks us through the final hours of Jesus’ life. Through scripture, silence, and the gradual dimming of light, we enter the depth of the cross and prepare our hearts for the hope of resurrection.
Easter Service
Sunrise Community Service, Breakfast, and Easter Service
Easter begins with our community sunrise service at 7 AM at the local High School. This is the celebration of Christ’s resurrection and the promise of new life. In the midst of joy, music, and proclamation, we rejoice that death does not have the final word—God’s love brings light, renewal, and hope for all.
Then we continue with breakfast at the church and the following Worship. Join us to celebrate RESURRECTION!
New Season at Castle Rock Church
Castle Rock UMC is entering a new season of connection, courage, and hope.
As part of the Lower Columbia United Methodist Connection, we are strengthening our shared ministry with neighboring congregations while deepening our local presence in Castle Rock. Our focus remains simple and strong: worship that centers Christ, ministries that serve our community, and relationships that carry one another through every season.
Our Wednesday Exercise Group now meets at 10:30 a.m. and continues to grow—movement, laughter, and fellowship all in one hour. Thank you to Barbara Rutherford for her faithful leadership.
During Lent, we are gathering for worship, prayer, and simple meals, remembering that renewal often begins in stillness. Even in uncertain times, God is at work among us—quietly, persistently, faithfully.
If you are looking for a church where faith is thoughtful, compassion is active, and community is real, you are welcome here.
Come grow with us.
