Beaver Memorial is a part of the United Methodist Church, a Wesleyan movement with over 18 million members worldwide. All persons regardless of race, age, color, nationality, status, economic condition, or sexual orientation are welcome in the United Methodist Church to worship, receive Holy Communion, are candidates for baptism, and may, following a brief period of study, become confirmed members of the church. There are two worship services on Sunday mornings, an informal service at 8:30 and a 10:30 service for traditional worship.
General Conference meets every four years to set the policies, practices, and standards of the United Methodist Church. Delegates to General Conference are pastors and church members from local churches in gathered in regional annual conferences. Beaver Memorial is part of the Central Pennsylvania Annual Conference. Locally, Beaver Memorial is organized in an Administrative Church Council format. Monthly meetings of church council are composed of representatives from specific work areas, commissions, and fellowship groups. An annual church conference meets to elect church officers and determine staff salaries and strategy and direction of ministry. All confirmed members of Beaver Memorial have a voice and a vote at this meeting.
