OAKLAND, IOWA ​UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Welcome to the Oakland, Iowa United Methodist Church!  ​Whether you are new to us or a regular attendee, we welcome you to our site and to our church. If you have no church home we invite you ​to be a part of our church family. Please feel free to contact our pastor, Rev. Carolyn Bowers (712-482-5530) ​or ​Lay Leader, Merlin Jones (712-482-3687) with any questions.
Our contact information as well as a map to the church can be found at the bottom of each page.
Beginning on Sunday, October 18th, we will have church services at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.  
  • 9:00 a.m. service will be in the sanctuary and masks will be required at this service.
  • 11:00 a.m. service will be in the sanctuary and masks will be optional.
  • Recordings of the worship service and sermon are being recorded and will be posted to our FACEBOOK PAGE (facebook.com/oakiamethchurch), our website and our YouTube channel for those people who do not feel comfortable returning to worship in person at this time or are unable to attend one of the services in person.
Our church is composed of people with different outlooks as far as COVID-19 is concerned.  Most of us want to worship on Sunday morning, and many want to do it in person in the church sanctuary.  Some of our members will not attend in-person worship if they are required to wear a mask.  Other people will not attend in person worship unless everyone is wearing a mask.  Still others will not return to in-person worship until they are sure the pandemic is over and they feel safe gathering with people again.  All of our members want and deserve to have their concerns and needs respected.
