Who We Are 

Purpose  
Loving Beyond Ourselves

Vision
To be known as a nurturing, inclusive and courageous Christian community.

Mission
Sharing God’s love by building community,
​serving others and standing for justice.

Excelsior UMC is an inter-generational community of individuals and families, spanning the ages of newborn to 105.  We gather for worship on Sunday mornings, small group discussions and studies throughout the week. Community outreach and social justice are critical elements of our faith life and we offer numerous ways to get involved that way.

​We invite you to join us in carrying out our mission wherever life takes you.

Excelsior UMC is over 135 years old on its journey.

Our original sanctuary was built and erected in 1884 on Water Street in downtown Excelsior, MN. In the mid-20th century, we purchased a parcel of land located at 881 Third Avenue in Excelsior to build a new church to accommodate our growing congregation. In 1998 we went through a building renovation to expand our classrooms and offices and create better parking facilities. Our current sanctuary has a 250-person capacity and nearly every room in our church is used for small group meetings, pastoral care, and fellowship gatherings.
