Welcome!
The United Methodist Church of Islip provides religious and emotional support to the members of our church and community. We strive to do this by being an open, caring congregation that welcomes people of all races, ages and nations. With God’s help we seek to be Christ-centered in our hearts, minds and actions. We extend to all people the hand of friendship in Christian love.
We have a special spirit of love and fellowship steeped in a tradition that dates back to 1810. Our historic church is the home of a dedicated, hard-working congregation filled with the love of Christ. We welcome you to a warm, quiet, beautiful sanctuary providing an inviting atmosphere for spending time with God.
We invite you to become part of our church family and experience the warmth and love of our fellowship.
