A Note from Our Pastors!
We invite you to connect with us and transform your life in a lot of ways. It isn't just a place for worship. It isn’t simply the chance to fellowship, make new friends, engage with groups of people in fun and enjoyable events. It isn’t just a great way to raise kids with important values so that they become good people and Lord knows, parents can use a little help! It isn’t just a way to participate in missions that let you know you are making an impact in the world. It isn’t only a place where people will pray for you. It is all of that!
And it is a place that feels like home—a place where the love of Christ is central and where people are doing the best they can to be like Jesus. We journey together. We welcome everyone. We have different opinions and we come from a lot of different backgrounds and places. We agree to disagree and focus on the amazing grace of God. We care about each other, about our community, and the world. Join us and walk closer with Christ!
Blessings, Karin and Danny
Faith and Beliefs
Spirit powered and Christ centered.
Whether you are a lifelong Christian or just trying it out, this is the place for you. We have countless stories to tell of how the Spirit has made a difference in the lives of folks in our congregation and those we serve. We feel prayer empowers our work, and our work blesses others. Lives are changed, people are carried when they cannot walk, and supported and blessed as together we are the family of God. You will find a friend here.
We are people from all walks of life on a journey to be like Jesus.
We stay focused on Jesus’ command to love one another and our neighbors! We encourage each other and build each other up. We acknowledge our differences and celebrate our common ground. We realize we have a variety of opinions and we engage in respectful dialogue as we learn from each other.
We stay focused on reaching out to those in need, as Jesus commands. realize that means our priority is to be our mission focused. Here at Fallston Church, we are always engaged with people outside our four walls—from our local communities, to Appalachia, Puerto Rico, and around the world. From adopting families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, to adopting a family and their new apartment in our area, to responding immediately to disasters like tornadoes in the Midwest or hurricanes on the islands, we invite the community to join us in making an impact in the world. Our outward mindset connects us to one another and to many who cross our path.9/
If you want to make a significant impact on the lives of others as well as be blessed, we are the place for you. Come to Puerto Rico with us for our mission there, provide gifts for a family in need at the holidays, make a blanket for a veteran for the 1111 Project, adopt a child and help educate him/her in Haiti; serve at a soup kitchen. There is always a way to give of your time, talent, and resources. Be transformed!
If you are reading this, consider it a sign that God is nudging you to draw closer. And God doesn’t take no for answer!! Just read Jonah, lol.
If you are in need of prayer today, you have come to the right place. We can put you on our prayer list or put you in touch with a Stephen’s Minister or Pastor Karin. We will pray for you!
Connect Groups

With Fallston UMC as the anchor, we are 11 churches working together to:
- SERVE Expand community engagement and impact
- LEAD Increase mission to reach more of the least, the last, and the lost
- HOPE Empower people to move along the Discipleship journey
Churches grow when there is an outward focus and when disciples of Jesus have a vision greater than themselves and their four walls. The Mission Central Parish provides many opportunities for people to be engaged in mission at various sites with a variety of communities. As individuals within the parish we can continue to grow in our own faith journey as we engage in Bible study, small groups, Christian education, youth group, etc, with each other across congregations while continuing to worship in our own buildings.
