Peniel provides Sunday School classes for all ages and enjoys an active traditional choir. Our weekly Sunday Worship Service is pastored by the Rev. Richard Pippin, who, with wife Judy, has served Peniel since 2002. It has been said by many people that they have walked into Peniel United Methodist Church as a stranger, yet have left as a friend. It is through this welcoming atmosphere that our congregation works to emulate the love of Christ and strives to shine as light in our community.

Values
If a stranger enters the church for the first time, they will leave knowing that they are loved by this family of Christians. We have stated that as of the first service and continue to uphold that.
United Methodist Church Association
While Peniel has a unique culture, we are part of the larger United Methodist Church. We have good relations with the other Methodist churches in the Brazil, IN area (and a few churches of other denominations) and work together to build each other up. Below is information about the tenets of our faith and answers to FAQs from the official
UMC website.
