Experience sermons live on Sundays and by podcast.
Rev. Nate Melcher crafts sermons that weave ancient scriptures with modern life. He preaches thematically-linked worship series with a variety of illustrations that aim to appeal across generations. He combines his M.Div theology degree with his MFA in Creative Writing and BA in Film Studies, as well as his experience in higher education teaching and improv comedy performance, to deliver sermons with humor and depth that are faithful, relatable, meaningful, informative, and actionable.
Guest preachers also share sermons, including laity, ministry professionals, guest clergy, the Bishop, and Conference District Superintendents. The preaching at Richfield UMC offers a mix of pastoral care in the midst of challenge, prophetic vision for a justice-filled world, and a call to action.
