I well remember joining the church in my early teenage years when my family moved to Chagrin Falls. The church is, and has been, the rock of my family's spiritual life. May the church continue to be, with God's guidance, a guiding light in the Chagrin Valley.

Since becoming members in 1958, Marilyn and I have come across people who have enhanced our lives and we feel very fortunate to have become members of the church. We have made many lifelong friends here.

The United Methodist Church of Chagrin Falls has given me a wonderful group of lifelong friends, steadfast in their support and encouragement in the struggles and joys we all experience. It is a congregation that shares friendliness, Christian love, and outreach to care for and support members and others in their search for a purposeful life.
