A Message from Discovery United Methodist Church

With deep gratitude and reverence for all who have called this church home, we share that Discovery United Methodist Church has officially concluded its ministry and closed its doors.

For many years, Discovery UMC served as a place of worship, connection, mission, and transformation for individuals and families in the Hoover community and beyond. We give thanks for every moment of faithful service, every prayer lifted, every meal shared, and every life changed through this congregation.

This decision was not made lightly. After much prayer, discernment, and dialogue among leadership and members, it became clear that the season of ministry at Discovery UMC was drawing to a close. We trust that God, who began a good work here, will continue that work in new ways and in new places in the days ahead.

We’re also pleased to share that Discovery Days Preschool will continue to operate and serve families in the community with the same excellence and care it has always provided. Though the church has closed, the vital ministry of early childhood education remains strong.

While our building will remain quiet for a time, we know that the Spirit is never still. We hold onto the hope that the seeds planted here will continue to bear fruit in the lives of all who were touched by this community.

Thank you for being a part of the story of Discovery UMC.
