Two styles of worship are offered at Ardmore United Methodist Church, the traditional format which follows Methodist traditions and rituals, and an alternative format which incorporates lots of music in a casual atmosphere. Visitors are always welcome at all services!
Traditional services are held Sunday mornings at 8:20 and 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary.
The EPIC alternative service is held in the Rozzelle Chapel on Sunday mornings.
Fellowship time begins at 11:00 with the service starting at 11:10.
