About Us

Rural Church

East Nelson UMC is about 4.5 miles east of Cedar Springs, MI. We are located in the Cedar Springs Public School district. We serve Cedar Springs, Harvard, Spencer Township, east of Sand Lake, Trufant, Gowen and the Lincoln Lake area. We are surrounded by hardworking farms and wonderful neighbors.

Sanctuary Worship

Our church Sanctuary was built in 1886 as a Congregational Church. It still has stain glass windows. Since the 1980's, the Church went through three additions. In 2007, we added screens to our service. And during Covid, we added service and events to Facebook.

Our Praise Team leads the congregation through our worship time which is 9:30 am, Sunday.
