What are the Sunday worship services at Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland?

Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland, FL holds two Sunday morning services: a 9:30 am Celebration Service in the Fellowship Hall with modern worship music and a band, and an 11 am Traditional Service in the Sanctuary with choir, organ, and hymns. Both services offer nursery care for ages 1–4, and both are streamed online at 9:30 am and 11 am. Choose the 9:30 service if you want contemporary music and children's programming; choose the 11 am service if you prefer traditional liturgy and want children to sit with you.

The two services at a glance

What to expect at each service

9:30 am Celebration Service

This is the contemporary option. It meets in the Fellowship Hall rather than the Sanctuary, with modern worship music led by a band. It is also the service with the fullest children's programming: nursery for ages 1–4 and Kids Ministry for ages 5 through 5th grade run during this hour. If you are visiting with elementary-age children, this is the service where they have a dedicated program.

11 am Traditional Service

This service meets in the Sanctuary and follows a traditional format with choir, organ, and hymns. Nursery is provided for ages 1–4, but no separate Kids Ministry is listed for this hour — children are welcome to sit with their family in the service. Families who prefer to worship together, or who want a traditional liturgical experience, will find this the better fit.

Attending online

Both services are available live: 9:30 am and 11 am on Facebook (watch live with no account required) and on YouTube (watch live or catch the sermon later). If you cannot attend in person, the online option mirrors the same schedule, so you can pick the service style you prefer rather than settling for whichever one is streamed.

How to decide

• You have young children (1–4): either service works; nursery is provided at both.
• You have kids in kindergarten through 5th grade: the 9:30 am service gives them a dedicated Kids Ministry.
• You want to worship as a family with children beside you: the 11 am Traditional Service welcomes kids to sit with family.
• Music style matters most: band and modern songs at 9:30, choir and organ at 11.
• You are exploring the church or visiting from out of town: the church describes itself as welcoming to people of all ages and backgrounds, and both services are open to first-time visitors — the site invites you to "plan your visit" and offers a virtual campus tour if you want to see the space before arriving.

Practical notes

• Address and campus: the church is located in Maitland, Florida, serving the greater Orlando area. A virtual tour of the campus is available on the website if you want to preview the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall.
• Which building to enter: the two services are in different rooms (Fellowship Hall vs. Sanctuary), so check which service you plan to attend before you arrive.
• Beyond Sunday: the church also describes children's and youth ministries and service and outreach opportunities throughout Central Florida, so a Sunday visit can be a starting point if you are looking for a church home rather than a one-time service.
