North Raleigh United Methodist Church

North Raleigh United Methodist Church sits on Honeycutt Road near Falls of Neuse and NC 540. Thirteen families, 98 charter members in all, met in the spring of 1971 and held the first worship service that June at Monk Chapel on the grounds of the Methodist Home for Children.

The congregation is a warm and welcoming one with ministries for children, youth, music and senior adults, and it looks to be a blessing through outreach and missions. Nursery care is handled by professional workers, so the youngest children are looked after consistently.

What to know

• The congregation bought its land in 1972 and began in what is now the Youth Building.
• A sanctuary built in 1983 is now the Fellowship Hall.
• Rapid growth led to the large current sanctuary, which was consecrated in 2006.
• The nursery takes children from eight weeks through three years old.
• Courage is one of the church’s named values, drawn from Jesus’ prayer before the cross.
