For generations, West Lawn has opened its doors and reached beyond its walls to serve our neighbors. Now we are exploring how our campus itself can better reflect that same spirit of welcome.

The proposed Welcome Center would connect our Sanctuary and Education buildings and create a central gathering place where people can pause, visit, meet someone new, and experience the fellowship of God's family.

This isn't simply about creating more space.
It's about creating space for people.

After taking the time to review the brochure and hear more from leaders of our church, we invite you to voice your opinion.
 Before decisions are made, we want to hear from you.
This is an important moment in the life of West Lawn.
What excites you about this possibility? What concerns do you have? What would make this space welcoming, useful, accessible, and meaningful for ministry?

Your feedback will help guide our prayerful discernment as we consider how our facilities can best serve Christ's mission at West Lawn—not simply for today, but for generations to come.

We are exploring this possibility, and no decision to build has been made. Please share your support, questions, or concerns by September 30, 2026 by clicking the "take survey" button above. Paper surveys are available in the church office and may be returned to the office on or before September 30. Questions? Contact Pastor Tom at tom@westlawnumc.org.

In the weeks ahead, we will share opportunities for discussion, and next steps.
 Thank you for praying, dreaming, and discerning with us.

Together, let's imagine how we can create more room to invite, embrace, and empower all to become the family of God.
