About Us

Ione Community United Methodist Church is a warm, and welcoming Christian congregation, striving to live in the words and way of Jesus. We praise God in worship, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship so that we can grow in our personal and communal journey of faith. When we live out our faith in these ways, our belief is that God’s spirit can transform our community and our world.
