About us
The sermons are preached from God's Word and come from the Old and New Testament. In either case, sermons are Christ Centered and will give those who hear God's Word preached, strength for the life God has called us
At times, the sermons become interactive when the pastor will ask for answers from a question that may be posed during the sermon.
There are usually 2 or 3 ideas that the pastor wants to give to each person to ponder while listening and also prays that when everyone leaves they will talk about the sermon together as a family at home or with friends.

IF you are looking for a traditional worship service, where we sing from our Hymn book the hymns of faith, we recite our Affirmation of Faith and the pastor preaches from God’s Word, this is the church for you. We are a very welcoming congregation.
ALL ARE WELCOME, but we do not want anyone to feel uncomfortable while standing too long, or not knowing the words to a particular new music style. We have a wonderful choir director and pianist; we sing a choir special each Sunday morning or we have special music by groups that sing together. As I said in the beginning, this is a traditional worship service.
Please join us each and every Sunday at 10am to worship Christ the Lord!
Our Mission: Making Disciples of Christ for the transformation of the World.
Music
We sing traditional hymns and praise songs during our worship service.
We also have a choir and we always need new choir members; so if you enjoy singing in our choir, speak to our organist or pianist after the service.
Everyone is most welcome to come and sing to the Glory of God.
Fellowship
One of our popular fellowship events is on every second Sunday of the month when we hold our Breakfast Sunday Service in our Fellowship Hall. All in our community are invited to join us for a free breakfast, short music and a meaningful message. This is a casual event, no dress code, and there are activities for children. Members bring breakfast items to share which provides an extensive variety for the best breakfast spread in town. Join us for food, fellowship and inspiring words!
Our Adult Sunday School meets after the regular Sunday service in the Fellowship Hall at 11:00am. Sessions from a variety of group video series are presented one session at a time and a stimulating dialogue follows. Some past topics include faith, forgiveness and grace. The conversation ends with some type of action plan or food for thought to add to our daily lives as we live the messages of Christ.
Community Garden
The Lillington United Methodist Church (LUMC) Garden Project named Gardening for God is a mission focused on providing fresh produce to those in Harnett County who are in the state of food insecurity.
Lillington Methodist Church supports a food and faith garden mission, Gardening for God, which plants, harvests and delivers vegetables to local food pantries and the Harnett Safe House. This is a volunteer effort with church and local community members joining to plant and nurture the produce to deliver to those who are experiencing food insecurity.
If you like to garden or would like to learn more about vegetable gardening, reach out to Lillington UMC 910 893 4811 and someone will respond. We are always looking for volunteers to share this opportunity to support our local community and enjoy some dirt therapy.

Pillow Case Ministry
Dedicated volunteers sew pillowcases and make them available to people in the congregation
who may know of someone in need because of illness, loss, or other concerns. Anyone can take
a pillowcase to give to a family member, friend, colleague or someone they may know. This is
an opportunity to provide love, caring, and understanding, especially for people who are
dealing with challenges. The pillowcases are blessed by the Pastor before they are gifted and
recipients are reminded God’s grace is always near. These pillowcases have traveled locally, to
many states and overseas.
Our Windows
Sanctuary In the main part of the sanctuary (often called the nave of the church) there are ten windows depicting the earthly life of Jesus Christ.
The chancel holds the altar, the place for the choir and pulpit. Around the chancel there are six windows reminding us (on the south side) of Daniel, David and Abraham. On the north side we find Moses, Jacob, and Isaiah.
Vestibule The vestibule is the entrance area between the “front” door and the main seating area. It has four windows, two depicting the life of Jesus and two reminding us of the history of our church.
On the south side of the vestibule we find Jesus calling “the fishers of men” and John Wesley, who God used to revive Christianity in England in the eighteenth century.
On the north side we see Jesus knocking at the door and a picture of Francis Asbury who was used by God to establish Methodism in America.
