About Walnut Hill United Methodist Church
Walnut Hill United Methodist
Church was formed in late 1950 in a temporary building close to
Bachman Lake.
Rev. Denman and his wife Kathleen began to canvass for members door
to door. Soon a “fisherman’s club” was organized so the first
members could meet for a covered dish supper and then visit
prospects in the area. The church grew quickly to more than 900
members by 1958.
After his
retirement in 1983, Rev. and Mrs. Denman rejoined Walnut Hill Church
and are current members.
Today, the church enjoys a diverse membership, a thriving children’s
ministry, and it supports mission work both locally and worldwide.
In 2010, Walnut Hill celebrates its 60th Anniversary.
The
Sanctuary
Our sanctuary features beautiful stained glass windows, with the
largest facing Marsh Lane and framing the street entrance to the
church. Fixed pews can accommodate up to 544 people on the street
level with additional seating in the balcony. A center aisle leads
to the altar. A magnificent pipe organ serves as a backdrop
for a suspended wooden cross with the altar table below. |

Stained Glass Treasures
There are thirteen stained glass windows in Walnut Hill United
Methodist Church’s main sanctuary and two additional windows in the
Chapel. They reflect the Biblical account of God’s creation of man
and the continuing encounter with Him throughout all of life. Scenes
and symbols depict the sin of man and the love of God, His
redemptive purpose in creation, and His continuing relationship with
the world.
