Our mission

To reach people with the message of Jesus.

Everything we do at The Woods starts there. For more than a hundred years, this Free Methodist church has been part of Stanwood — a place to learn about Jesus and to get to know the neighbors around you.

Whether you are new to faith, coming back after time away, or have been here for years, you are welcome.

Come as you are.

Twelve Baskets Food Pantry
