We are a family-oriented United Methodist Church in South Park, Pennsylvania.
We have programs for all ages and attitudes.
There is always something going on at Windover Hills.
Most importantly, our staff and members are devoted to helping one another
develop a deeper commitment to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We will strive to follow Jesus Christ by being a loving, welcoming, and growing community.

"My best friend's daughter died in a car wreck. My grandfather died of
cancer. My sister has MS. My parents got divorced. If God is supposed
to be good and loving, how can He/She allow such things to happen?
Where is God when it hurts? This is a question that has challenged
people in all times and places. Pastor Dale is leading a
bible study exploring this theme during the Sunday school hour (9:40-10:40 am) in the
Fellowship Hall classroom. (Click here
for topics and scripture. The final session is this Sunday, May 18.) Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage
Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage is a video-based
small group study currently meeting during the Sunday school hour. The study
uses humor to unravel the complexities of marriage and reveal biblical
truths to help husbands and wives gain the knowledge and understanding
needed to build a healthier, stronger, and more fulfilling marriage.

(The final session is this Sunday, May 18.) Sunday Fellowship Time
