I NEED YOUR HELP
Pastor's, Church Secretaries,
I need your assistance in making sure I have correct information pertaining to your church and your committee chairs.

We are trying to make sure that all of our churches have their correct church service times and Sunday school times listed. We want to make sure that when a visitor looks your church up on the internet, that they will be seeing correct service times. We also want to make sure that your committee chairs contact information is updated as well.

If you should call and need to leave a message, please make sure you leave the name of the church and what time your church service(s) are, or you can email me the name of church(s) and the times of their service(s).

The District Office phone: 607-962-8047 or email: mountainviewdistrict@unyumc.org
