What is Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland, FL?
Asbury United Methodist Church in Maitland, Florida, is a United Methodist congregation serving the greater Orlando area, describing itself as a welcoming faith community where people of all ages and backgrounds can grow in faith, build relationships, and find purpose in Christ.

Sunday worship at a glance
| Service | Time | Location | Style | Children |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Celebration Service | 9:30 am | Fellowship Hall | Modern worship music with a band | Nursery (ages 1–4) and Kids Ministry (age 5–5th grade) |
| Traditional Service | 11 am | Sanctuary | Choir, organ, hymns | Nursery (ages 1–4); kids welcome to sit with family |
Both services are also streamed online at 9:30 am and 11 am via Facebook (live viewing without an account) and YouTube, where sermons can be watched later.
Who it may suit
- Families with young children: the 9:30 service pairs contemporary music with nursery and kids programming, so parents can attend with age-appropriate care for their children.
- Visitors who prefer liturgy and music: the 11 am service in the sanctuary centers on choir, organ, and hymns.
- People exploring faith or seeking a church home: the church explicitly frames itself as open to first-time explorers as well as those looking for a permanent congregation.
- Anyone unable to attend in person: the livestreams and recorded sermons make Sunday worship accessible remotely.
For a first visit, the practical next step is to check the church's "Plan Your Visit" page and take the campus virtual tour, then choose the 9:30 service if you have children or prefer modern music, or the 11 am service if traditional worship is your preference.
Which Sunday service should I attend if I prefer contemporary music versus traditional hymns?
Choose the 9:30 am Celebration Service if you prefer contemporary music: it meets in the Fellowship Hall with modern worship music led by a band, and offers nursery care (ages 1–4) plus Kids Ministry through 5th grade. Choose the 11 am Traditional Service if you prefer hymns: it meets in the Sanctuary with choir, organ and hymns, with nursery provided and children welcome to sit with their family.
A practical next step is to match the service to who is coming with you. A family with young children may find the 9:30 am service easier because age-specific kids programming runs alongside it; someone who values liturgy, choral music and a sanctuary setting will likely feel more at home at 11 am. If you are unsure, attend one of each on consecutive Sundays — the styles are distinct enough that your preference will be clear quickly. Both services are also streamed online at their scheduled times if you want a low-pressure preview first.

How can I watch Asbury's worship services online if I can't attend in person?
Asbury streams both Sunday services online at 9:30 am (Celebration Service) and 11 am (Traditional Service). You can watch live on Facebook without creating an account, or on YouTube, where you can also catch the sermon later if you miss the live stream. The church notes that online worship is available at both times, so you can choose the service style that fits you.
Practical next step
If you want to watch live, open the church's Facebook or YouTube page a few minutes before 9:30 or 11 am on Sunday. If you prefer to watch on your own schedule, use YouTube and look for the most recent sermon after the service ends.
Choosing between the two services online
| If you prefer… | Watch… |
|---|---|
| Modern worship music with a band | The 9:30 am Celebration Service |
| Choir, organ and hymns | The 11 am Traditional Service |
| Watching later or catching up on a sermon | YouTube |
For a first visit online, the 9:30 service may feel easier to follow if you are exploring faith or want a more contemporary format; the 11 am service is the better fit if traditional liturgy and music are familiar and meaningful to you. Either way, watching live gives you the sense of joining the congregation at the same time, while YouTube's on-demand option is more flexible for shift workers, parents of young children, or anyone in a different time zone.
What children's and youth programs are available during Sunday services?
Asbury runs age-specific programs during both Sunday services, with the main difference being that the 9:30 am Celebration Service includes a full Kids Ministry while the 11 am Traditional Service offers nursery care and welcomes children to sit with their families.
Sunday programs by service
| Service | Nursery (ages 1–4) | Kids Ministry (ages 5–5th grade) |
|---|---|---|
| 9:30 am Celebration Service (Fellowship Hall) | Yes | Yes |
| 11 am Traditional Service (Sanctuary) | Yes | Children welcome to sit with family |
On youth programs specifically, the site describes engaging children's and youth ministries as part of its overall offering, but the Sunday-morning schedule above only details nursery and elementary-age care. So the page confirms youth ministry exists without listing a Sunday meeting time or age breakdown for it.
What this means in practice
A family with a preschooler can use the nursery at either hour, which makes it easy to try both worship styles without rearranging childcare. A family with elementary-age children will find the most structured option at 9:30 am; at 11 am, the expectation is that kids stay in the service with parents, which suits older children or families who prefer worshipping together.
If your children are in middle or high school, the next step is to ask the church directly about youth meeting times, since the Sunday schedule doesn't spell them out. You can also preview the campus with the virtual tour linked from the site before a first visit.
What should I expect on my first visit to Asbury, and how do I plan a visit?
Expect two Sunday services with distinct styles, a children's program during both, and a straightforward in-person visit—no advance registration is mentioned on the site. The church describes itself as welcoming to people "exploring faith for the first time" as well as those seeking a church home, so first-timers are an explicit part of the intended audience.
What the two services look like
| 9:30 am Celebration Service | 11 am Traditional Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Fellowship Hall | Sanctuary |
| Music | Modern worship with a band | Choir, organ, hymns |
| Nursery (ages 1–4) | Provided | Provided |
| Kids ministry | Kids Ministry for age 5 through 5th grade | Children welcome to sit with family |
The practical trade-off is childcare versus worship style. If you have children in the 5–5th grade range, the 9:30 service gives them a dedicated program; at 11 am they stay with you. If your household prefers hymns and organ music, the later service fits, but plan for children to remain seated with you.
Planning your visit
- Pick a service using the table above, and arrive a few minutes early—an unfamiliar campus plus a nursery check-in is easier without time pressure.
- Use the site's "Plan Your Visit" path to signal you're coming and get any arrival details the church provides.
- Preview the campus with the virtual tour if parking or finding the Fellowship Hall versus the Sanctuary worries you.
- Can't attend in person? Both services stream at 9:30 and 11 am on Facebook (the site notes no account is required to watch) and on YouTube, where the sermon can be viewed later.
A concrete first-visit scenario
A family with a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old might choose 9:30: the older child goes to Kids Ministry, the younger to the nursery, and the parents worship without splitting attention. A couple preferring liturgical music would choose 11 am and expect children, if any, beside them.
For comparison while you decide, the parent denomination's official site is The United Methodist Church, which explains what United Methodist worship and beliefs generally involve—useful background if this tradition is new to you.
What outreach and service opportunities does Asbury offer in the greater Orlando area?
The website describes service and outreach “throughout Central Florida” as part of Asbury’s mission, but it does not list specific outreach programs, partner organizations or volunteer schedules on the page. The concrete opportunities it names are the general categories of service and outreach, alongside children’s and youth ministries and worship.
What the page actually supports
- Service and outreach as a stated commitment: Asbury frames its purpose as experiencing the love of Jesus Christ and being equipped to “pass it on,” with compassion expressed through worship, connection and service.
- Age-specific involvement: Children’s and youth ministries are described as engaging, which is where families often first encounter service activities.
- Sunday participation: The 9:30 a.m. contemporary service and 11 a.m. traditional service both include nursery care, making weekly attendance practical for households with young children.
Practical next step
If you are looking for a specific way to serve—food pantry shifts, shelter meals, mission trips or local partnerships—the page does not answer that. A reader in Maitland or Orlando should contact the church office directly and ask three things: which outreach partners they work with, whether volunteers need training or background checks, and whether opportunities are one-time or ongoing. That conversation will tell you more than any general description.
For comparison, other United Methodist congregations in the region publish detailed outreach pages; The United Methodist Church maintains a church finder and denominational mission resources that can help you identify nearby congregations with active service programs.
