Sunday School begins at 9:15 a.m., and worship begins at 10:30 a.m.
Many people begin gathering around 9:00 a.m. for coffee and conversation. Arriving about 10–15 minutes before worship will give you plenty of time to find your way in and get settled.
Our main parking lot is located off John Redd Boulevard. A smaller upper parking lot is available off Daniels Creek Road.

Worship at Smith Memorial blends traditional Methodist liturgy and prayer with hymns, choir anthems, and contemporary praise music. Some Sundays are led musically by our choir, while others feature our praise team.
A children’s message is included during worship, and Holy Communion is normally celebrated on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of the month.
Absolutely. We love having children in worship, and a little noise does not bother us.
A wiggle space is available in the sanctuary for children age five and younger. Children are also invited to participate in the children’s message during worship.
