Who Are We?

We are a missionary force of Christians offering the care and compassion of Christ to all, meeting you wherever you are on life's journey.

Upcoming Events

Racial Justice Book Study

Join us for a thoughtful and honest conversation about race, privilege, and the ways our experiences shape how we understand the world. We’ll explore Debby Irving’s Waking Up White, a personal and accessible reflection that invites readers to examine the assumptions and cultural messages that influence our understanding of race.

This study is open to everyone—wherever you are on your journey of learning and reflection. Our goal is not to have all the answers, but to create a space for listening, learning, asking questions, and growing together as people committed to the work of racial justice.

Thursdays, September 10–November 19 (except Oct. 08)

Two options are available each Thursday:

11:00 a.m. — In person at Detroit Lakes United Methodist Church
7:00 p.m. — Online via Zoom

Come for the conversation, stay for the learning, and join us as we seek to become more aware, compassionate, and faithful neighbors. There is a limited number of free books available for those who sign up soon.

At DLUMC, we invite everyone to join our vibrant community. We offer various programs aimed at spiritual growth and fellowship.

We Welcome All Persons

Our Vision

While the United Methodist Church has currently undergone a long debate over questions of human sexuality, our congregation seeks to be a church that is truly welcoming of all persons wherever they are on life's journey and that absolutely includes our LGBTQ+ neighbors and friends.

DLUMC is a part of the Reconciling Ministries Network (RMN), a group of United Methodist Churches seeking to be the inclusive church God is calling us to be.
