SERVING AT WOODLAWN
Galatians 5:13 tells us, "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." When God created the church, it was to serve the needs of others so that they might know that same freedom Christians have experienced as is spoken about in Galatians.
Woodlawn is a tremendous place to worship but there's so much more to church than just showing up on Sundays. If you want to connect with the church the way Christ has intended, plug into a place to serve! There are countless opportunities listed on our website. Click SERVE to browse & get connected to the greater vision of the church by serving others in order to make transformed followers of Jesus Christ. The amazing part is, when we help others be transformed, we are transformed ourselves. We look forward to serving alongside you! Feel free to contact Cameron with any questions at cameron@woodlawnpcb.org.

COLUMBARIUM -
WOODLAWN MEMORIAL GARDEN
A Sacred Place Where People Are Remembered
What is the
Woodlawn Memorial Garden?
Woodlawn Memorial Garden is home to our columbarium, a free-standing structure comprised of niches or compartments in which urns containing cremated remains are placed. Each niche is enclosed by a stone front, on which the name and years of birth and death of the deceased are engraved.
Why is the columbarium
important to me?
It provides peace of mind. Being prepared means your loved ones won't have the burden of trying to manage your wishes and the cost that goes with it. It is accessible and comforting and is the only columbarium in Panama City Beach.
Who may be inurned
in the columbarium?
- Members of Woodlawn United Methodist Church
- Immediate family of Woodlawn UMC members
- Members of another UMC in the Alabama-West Florida Conference
For further information on the Columbarium or understanding the scripture as it relates to your final resting place, visit our website at
Columbarium
or call the Church office at (850)234-3196.
