We are so glad that you have decided to check us out at Cranford United Methodist Church!
We are a group of imperfect people seeking to know and love God. We are together with God
because of God’s love and commitment to humanity and together as a family in faith learning
to embody this love and commitment to each other and beyond into the world.
If you can help out, consider helping other local moms who are struggling to keep food on the table.

Hey, neighbors. Did you know that there is a Little Free Pantry in the parking lot of the church? It was built by Eagle Scout Josh Schwartz. In this time when so many families are being cut off from food assistance, the pantry is in great need of food. If you can help out, please drop off your food donations anytime, 24/7. If the pantry is full, please use the overflow bin located below the pantry.
