Hello folks, first and foremost, thank you for visiting our church website. I felt more compelled to update and add information in about the church than to write about myself but for those who haven't met me yet, here's a short bio about myself. I'm new to California, I come from Nevada, previously serving the communities of Yerington and Schurz, Nevada. I'm a single father of 4 daughters who are living their best life in Nevada, they visit dad when they can. I was born in Arizona and lived a majority of my life in Nevada and periods of time in Arizona. My father is from the Tohono O'odham Nation in Arizona and my mother derives from the Paiute and Shoshone Nations in Nevada. I enjoy learning new things and about the histories of community. As the volunteer webmaster, I've shared some history about AUMC, be sure to visit "History" site under the "New Here" tab. That's a little about me and what I like. Feel free to send me an email and ask me questions at pastor@atwatermethodists.org. God bless!

Emeritus: Norma Mattos
Norma Mattos had played the organ for the Methodist Church around 80 years. She was very young when she began playing the organ. She began playing around the age of 14, having to ride her peddle bike to church where she was intrigued by the instrument that she fell in love with, the organ. She also played the piano but the organ was her favorite. Norma is well known through out the Atwater community for her playing and teaching. Norma provided musical services for the congregation and many families during the various celebrations of life, weddings, and funerals. Norma has since retired. We thank her for the many years of service to Atwater United Methodist Church (former Methodist Episcopal Church) and nearby communities.
