Plainfield United Methodist Church is thrilled to share exciting updates on the Reach Beyond project! This initiative is transforming the Worship Annex into a vibrant space for hospitality, outreach, and worship, and thanks to our incredible community, we are so close to making this vision a reality!

Recent Transformations Include:

• Window replacements
• Brand-new carpet replacing 25-year-old flooring
• Upgraded electrical system for a modern, efficient space
• Comfortable seating with side tables and chairs
• Beautiful decorative touches, including a prayer wall and art installations

The total project cost is estimated at $65,000, and thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve already raised an amazing $55,341.16 as of February 9, 2025! With a $30,000 lead gift from the Transforming for Tomorrow initiative, we are now less than $10,000 away from reaching our goal!

Let’s finish strong! Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to opening this refreshed space for worship, connection, and ministry.

Join us in this final push! Donate today and help us cross the finish line. Together, we can make this dream a reality!

We’re excited to welcome Carey Michels as PUMC’s Director of Children’s Ministries! A Plainfield resident since 2018, Carey has attended PUMC with her family and is passionate about supporting children’s faith development.

She works full-time as the Pregnancy Promise Program Project Specialist for the Office of Medicaid Policy and Planning, helping pregnant individuals with substance use disorders find resources to support their families.

Growing up, Carey’s mother played a big role in children’s ministry, inspiring her own love for working with kids. She looks forward to connecting with PUMC families and expanding our children’s programs within the church and community.

Please join us in welcoming Carey to the team!
