Follow Us On:

         Onley United Methodist Church has been an integral part of the community for over 100 years and continues to be a light in the world. The love and compassion of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is reflected in the hearts and souls of the congregation at Onley UMC, and all are welcome to join us during our Sunday morning worship service.

        You will find us to be neighborly and welcoming.  Our pastor, James "Jim" Canody, is entering his 36th year of ministry, with Onley being his second appointment on the Shore, having served at the Wachapreague-Quinby Charge from 1988 to 1992.
           
 Please join us for worship at Onley UMC, Sundays at 11:00am

"The meaning of self-denial is not infliction of personal torment and penance, but it is simply the giving up the very principle of living for ourselves.  It is completely changing the direction of our being and will so that no longer in any sense do we act with reference to how anything will effect us, but our one thought is how it will effect God or others."
