In our 11:00 service, we sing timeless hymns of the faith, reflect upon scripture together, and join our hearts in prayer. Music for this service is accompanied by organ and piano and often features choir, handbells, and soloists. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month.​​

OUR HISTORY
On November 9, 1924, Westhampton Methodist Church was organized. The first services were held in a large tent on a lot adjacent to the Masonic building.
The congregation began to worship in its first sanctuary in 1939. Our current sanctuary was built in 1950. The Christian Education building was added between 1953 and 1967.
A primary mission outreach of Westhampton Church is the Westhampton Day School (WDS). Since its opening in 1953, WDS has been an active part of the Westhampton community. The nationally accredited and award-winning school provides a full-day curriculum for nearly 200 students and employs over 40 dedicated educators.
