Our Mission, Vision & Values

Rooted in our community for over 100 years, embracing both tradition and the evolving needs of our neighbors.

Welcome to Dundee Methodist Church

Dundee Methodist Church (DMC) is a medium-sized, multiethnic congregation serving the central Florida municipalities of Dundee, Winter Haven, Lake Wales, Haines City, Auburndale, and Davenport. People travel from as far as Lakeland and Poinciana to participate in our vibrant community. We offer meaningful worship, biblically-based preaching, relevant Christian education, and engaging opportunities for service.

Rooted in our community for over 100 years, DMC proudly embraces both tradition and the evolving needs of our neighbors. We warmly welcome and care for everyone regardless of color, creed, or class. Visitors frequently tell us that DMC is one of the friendliest churches they've ever attended, and many choose to make this their spiritual home.
