It is thanks to our outstanding staff that Grace United Methodist Church is able to serve God and help members of our congregation, our community, and our world. We are grateful to all who give of their time to help the church in its work.

Senior Pastor
Lee Wigert
Associate Pastor
“Grace United Methodist Church is one of the most — if not the most — friendly, accepting, and supportive churches I have been associated with in 30 years of ordained ministry. The worship services are full of joy, enthusiasm and spirit. The mission outreach program is one the top in the Nebraska area. The music ministry is awe-inspiring. The laity is very committed to the Lord; to supporting education and outreach; and supporting the budget needs of the church.
We have a wonderful staff at Grace United Methodist Church. There is a solid commitment to pastoral care, supportive ministry, and to preaching and proclaiming the Gospel message. Our new Family Life Center has provided increased opportunities for ministry to our members, friends, neighbors and the entire community. Our Health Ministries program attends to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of members. We are 'whole people in a whole world' working for the Lord's will to be done.”
