Mission:

The mission of Community United Methodist Church is to be a community of Christians called by the loving God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to:

Invite all people to join our Family of Faith,
Nurture each other toward Christ-like maturity, and
Serve the needs of our neighbors, at home and abroad.

History:

In 1948, a small group of people met to discuss the need for a Methodist church in the Brookfield, Elm Grove area. World War II had ended three years earlier, and the baby boom was underway. Parents felt their children needed “Sunday” schooling. There were no Protestant churches in the area, which was quickly becoming suburbia.

A survey taken later that year revealed there was a real desire for such a church. In 1949, a site committee evaluated three possible locations, and concluded that a three and a half acre parcel at Watertown Plank and Highland Roads was best. Appropriately, the site was part of Mission Hills subdivision.
