Loving God and Loving People.

Who We Are

Charity United Methodist Church is nestled in the heart of the beautiful city of Virginia Beach, VA, in the charming town of Pungo, renowned for its celebrated Strawberry Festival and warm, welcoming spirit. As one of the earliest Methodist churches in Virginia, our rich history spans over 235 years, during which Charity Church has remained a beacon of faith, hope, and love in our community. 

From our humble beginnings to today, we have stood steadfast in our mission to make disciples for the transformation of the world. Rooted in the Wesleyan tradition, we are a vibrant Christian community committed to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through worship, fellowship, and service. Our doors are open to all, and we strive to embody the love of Christ in everything we do. 

Our congregation reflects God’s family, with a healthy balance of children, youth, families, and retired saints who inspire us with their wisdom, energy, and commitment to loving God and one another. We cherish the intergenerational connections that make our church a family and nurture every person’s faith journey through opportunities for spiritual growth, community engagement, and acts of kindness. 

At Charity UMC, we are deeply engaged in serving both our local and global communities. From our vibrant worship services on Sunday, growing family ministries including youth and children to our food bank and other outreach programs and cherished traditions, we are dedicated to being the hands and feet of Christ in the world. We invite you to join us in worship, fellowship, and service as we continue to grow in faith together, celebrating God's goodness and grace.
