Welcome to Mattis Avenue
Free Methodist Church!

We're a medium-sized congregation in southwest Champaign, IL eager to add new friends to our fellowship and to serve the community around us.

As we worship together and look for practical ways to help others, we remember Jesus' statement that the greatest thing in the world is to love God with all our hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves.

We welcome all who come, and we agree with St. Paul that "there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female" in the church, for we are all one in Christ Jesus.

We love to make new friends!
