Woodlawn Church is located a few blocks north of the Gulf of Mexico. We have been around for over 60 years but recently changed our affiliation from United Methodist to non-denomination/independent. We are a new church with a proven reputation in the community. We have 3 unique worship experiences held in 3 separate venues. Woodlawn is known as a giving and loving congregation. Our mission statement is: We will leverage everything to make transformed followers of Jesus Christ. We are Christ-centered, discipleship driven, outwardly focused and team based.
