Connecting people to God, with others, in service.
We are a Northside church that shares our building, our playground, and our Sundays.
Connecting with God, with each other, and with our neighbors.
Grab a cup and say hello. We gather in the gym.
A class for kids, plus three adult classes. Every class is open to visitors.
Traditional hymns led by our choir, prayer, a children’s time, and a message about following Jesus in real life.
Jeans or Sunday best, both fit right in. Wear what you’re comfortable in.
For worship, use the front doors facing Dale Street, marked “Sanctuary Entrance.” For coffee and classes, come in through the glass doors in the breezeway between the buildings.
There’s a kids’ class at 9:00, and children are always welcome in worship, with a children’s time just for them.
Expect music, prayer, Scripture, and a message you can take into your week.
When we share Communion, it’s open to everyone, not just members. What is a United Methodist church?
You won’t be singled out. Sit anywhere, join in as much or as little as you like.
Pathways Family Life Center, 1232 E. Dale. Free hot dogs and soda, plus free treats and books for the kids.
Open meetings, perfect for first-timers. Groups are run by AA and NA.
Monthly meeting held here on the third Tuesday at 6:30 pm.
Faith gets real when we show up for each other. Here’s how Pathways serves the Northside and Springfield throughout the year, and how you can join in.
Our food pantry helps neighbors with groceries close to home.
For pantry days and times, or to donate, call the church office at 417-866-4378.
Each month, a group from Pathways volunteers at Crosslines Food Pantry. We always need more volunteers on the third Thursday of the month.

Throughout the year, Pathways partners with ministries across Springfield to meet real needs, from seasonal drives to hands-on service days.
Want to help? Call 417-866-4378 or email pathwaysumcoffice@gmail.com.
Pathways began in 2006, when two Northside congregations chose to become one: Dale Street Methodist, founded in 1888 on this same corner, and St. Luke Methodist, founded in 1909. Together they carry more than a century of neighbors worshiping, learning, and serving side by side.
Stop by during office hours, give us a call, or come early on Sunday for coffee and treats in the gym.
