Our Story
Resurrection Global Methodist Church (GMC) was established in September 2022 with the vision of leaving a lasting legacy of faith in Arlington, Texas. Rooted in the Wesleyan tradition, our church is committed to serving the community and sharing the transformative love of Jesus Christ. While we are a young church, our foundation is built on decades of faithful ministry, guided by the gospel's truth.
​
We gather for worship at the Arlington Music Hall, offering Sunday school at 9:30 AM for all ages, followed by fellowship and worship at 11:00 AM. Our children, ages 2 through 3rd grade, experience a vibrant, safe space to learn about God during the service.
​
Beyond Sunday services, we host a variety of groups focused on prayer, scripture study, and community service projects, providing numerous ways for people to connect, serve, and grow in faith. At Resurrection GMC, we are passionate about welcoming everyone into our community to experience God’s love and transformation.
