An inclusive faith community where all are welcome to experience the love & grace of God

Sedona UMC is in a season of revitalization. Early in our journey, God revealed the vision that our work would be grounded in social justice and loving our neighbors. We are so proud that Sedona UMC, a faith community that has been serving the Verde Valley for over 40 years, is a fully inclusive and affirming faith community where all are invited to experience the love and grace of God.

We are people with open hearts, open minds, and open doors who value community and relationship. Together, we embrace faith, hope, and unity, creating a welcoming space for spiritual growth and connection.

S.A.G.A.P. assists local low income families, individuals and homeless to acquire necessary items not covered with state food assistance. We collect paper products, hygiene products and household cleaning products. These items are sorted, inventoried and distributed with the help of our partner, Sedona Food Banks.

Explore your connection to the divine in an open, inclusive setting. Enjoy gentle yoga, meditation, and journaling designed for all experience levels—mats and chairs provided! Led by certified instructor Lauren Riffle.

🗓️ When: 1st & 3rd Sundays | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Where: The New Room @ Sedona UMC (110 Indian Cliffs Rd)

All are welcome! ✨
