Two Rivers is a United Methodist congregation in the heart of Rock Island, worshiping here since 1833. We’re longtime Quad Citizens and families from Tanzania, Burundi, Congo, Malawi and beyond, worshiping together in English and Swahili. As a Reconciling congregation, we welcome everyone fully, whatever your age, race, language, sexual orientation or gender identity. Wherever you’re coming from, there’s room for you here.
Join us Sundays at 9:30 a.m. at 1820 5th Avenue. Worship is casual and traditional: familiar hymns, honest preaching, and a table where everyone is welcome to take communion. Come as you are; jeans are fine. Kids are welcome in worship, and Sunday school takes place after worship – around 10:45. There is coffee and “cafe style” seating in the back of the sanctuary. Swahili translation is available every week.

We are a people called to do what the Lord requires.
- Serve our neighbors through mercy, advocacy and community care.
- Connect with one another in loving-kindness and inclusive belonging.
- Grow together as disciples of Jesus.
Every Saturday at noon, our doors and tables are open to everyone. For more than 20 years, our Community Meal has served about 80 neighbors a week, restaurant style, with food pantry items to take home. On the last Saturday of the month, Operation Safety Net adds coats, shoes and household goods. Come eat, come serve, or both.
Advent begins November 29 with our new series, Until the Dawn. Catch this week’s sermon on YouTube, or browse past sermons and one-page recaps in our archive.
