We're so glad you're here!
Christ UMC has been worshipping with the people of Rockford since 1956. Since then, we've grown an array of ministries for children, youth, adults, and families to gather, grow, and go together to love and serve Jesus Christ, our community, and the world beyond.
Worship With Us
Whether you're new to the Rockford community or just searching for a church home, we would love to meet you at one of our Sunday worship services. Pick a service time that works best for you and come introduce yourself, or tune in online to see what a service at Christ UMC is like.
We hope to see you soon!

Bears vs. Packers Chili Cookoff
November 17 at 11:30 AM
Join us after the services for a chili cookoff while we watch the 12:00 Bears vs. Packers game in Fellowship Hall! Please sign up to attend or compete in the chili competition HERE.
If you have both a childhood/old photo AND a current photo of yourself wearing Bears or Packers gear, email the photos to Josh (fdhayag@christumc.cc). Photos will be shared on the TV during halftime.
Thanksgiving Baskets
Christ UMC is excited to prepare Thanksgiving baskets for approximately 150 families in our community.
Volunteers are needed to assemble/distribute boxes on 11/23 and 11/25. To volunteer, contact the office.
Each basket will provide a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner and enough food to sustain a family for a week. To support this project financially, please make checks out to CUMC with "Thanksgiving Baskets" in the memo line, or donate through Tithe.ly. Each basket is approx. $125, but any amount is appreciated.
Christmas Angel Gift Project
Christ UMC will “gift” about 200 people this year through 7 community agencies. Please prayerfully consider how you could help with this worthwhile mission outreach.
Pick up an Angel Tag on 11/24 or 12/1. Shop for a $35 gift using the sizes and wishes listed. We ask that gifts are returned (unwrapped) with the Angel Tag attached before (if possible) 12/8.
Donate tissue or gift bags: We no longer use wrapping paper. Bags are easier for wrapping/transporting.
Come and bag with us!: Bagging will be on Monday, 12/9 (4:30 pm) and Tuesday, 12/10 (9:00 am).
Fall Leadership Training
On Saturday, September 14, Christ UMC’s Vision Committee hosted Leadership Training for all committee and ministry team members. Watch the recorded training below to learn more about the state of our church, and hear a special presentation from Rev. Dr. Steve Bullmer about discerning the will of God.
