How to Watch Asbury United Methodist Church Services Online

Updated

Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland, FL streams both of its Sunday services online: the 9:30 am Celebration Service and the 11 am Traditional Service. You can watch live on Facebook without an account, or use YouTube to watch live or catch the sermon later. The church website also offers a virtual campus tour if you want to see the space before visiting or tuning in.

What You Can Watch Online

Service Time In-Person Location What to Expect
Celebration Service 9:30 am Sunday Fellowship Hall Modern worship music with a band; nursery (ages 1–4) and Kids Ministry (ages 5–5th grade) on site
Traditional Service 11 am Sunday Sanctuary Choir, organ, and hymns; nursery provided (ages 1–4); kids welcome to sit with family

Both services are streamed at their scheduled times. The online option mirrors the in-person schedule, so you can plan around either the 9:30 am or 11 am hour.

How to Watch on Facebook

  1. Go to the church's Facebook page at the time of the service (9:30 am or 11 am Sunday).
  2. Look for the live video on the page.
  3. Watch directly in your browser.

You do not need a Facebook account to watch live. This is the simplest option if you want to join in real time without signing up for anything.

Expected result: You see the service as it happens, with no login step.

How to Watch on YouTube

  1. Open YouTube and find the church's channel (linked from asburymaitland.org).
  2. At service time, select the live stream to watch in real time.
  3. If you miss the live hour, return to the channel later to watch the sermon.

YouTube is the better choice if you want flexibility: you can watch live or catch the sermon after the fact. Facebook live, by contrast, is built around the scheduled moment.

Seeing the Campus Before You Go

If part of your hesitation is not knowing what the building or worship space looks like, the website offers a virtual tour of the campus. Use it to get oriented before attending in person or before watching online, so the setting feels familiar.

Choosing Between the Two Services

The streams differ in style, so pick based on what you want from worship:

  • Choose the 9:30 am stream if you prefer modern worship music with a band and a more contemporary feel.
  • Choose the 11 am stream if you prefer traditional worship with choir, organ, and hymns.

Both are described as welcoming to people exploring faith for the first time as well as those looking for a church home, so either stream is a reasonable first step.

Common Snags

  • Trying to watch outside the service times: Facebook live is tied to the scheduled hour. If you arrive late or on another day, use YouTube to find the sermon instead.
  • Expecting an account requirement: Facebook viewing needs no account, so don't create one just to watch.
  • Assuming the tour replaces attendance: the virtual tour shows the campus but doesn't include service content; use the streams for worship.
