Hi there. You have arrived at the new temporary online home of St Paul United Methodist Church in Brighton Illinois.
 |
| St Paul UMC 401 N Main Street Brighton IL, 62012 |
We meet at 10am for our Sunday morning service, but church is not just limited to one morning a week. Our Sunday School classes meet at 9am, and during the week you can plug into bible studies, youth and children's programs, Alpha, Marriage Alpha, and a wide range of other opportunities for fellowship. We share communion together on the first and third Sundays of each month. Families are encouraged to come to the table together.

| Rev Amy Rayson Lead Pastor |
At St Paul, we are led by not 1, but 2 pastor's. Reverend Amy and Reverend Mike Rayson - yes, they are married to each other - are not native to Illinois, but rather hail from the deep deep deep south. No - not Mississippi, the other deep south... all the way down under south - South Australia! Pastor Amy fills the pulpit most Sundays in the church year, whilst Pastor Mike has the opportunity to travel all over the world preaching in churches and at international ministry conferences. Pastor Mike is also a noted musician - you can experience his song 'Just Grace' by clicking the link below.
If you would like information about baptism, church membership, weddings, funerals - or you just want to have a 'chat' with a friendly voice, don't hesitate to give Amy a call on 931 561 3273, or Mike on 931 249 2369. Amy and Mike are also contactable via email - pastoramy@stpaulumcbrighton.com and pastormike@stpaulumcbrighton.com.
