What is our mission?


Vision Statement: Experiencing God - Embracing Others

Mission Statement:  
We are a community of committed followers of Jesus Christ who influence our world to imitate Christ through an intentional strategy of winning the lost, building the believer and equipping each person for effective ministry.


What are our beliefs?  We celebrate faith in Jesus Christ and His Gospel. United Methodist teachings are solidly rooted in the Scriptures and the rich heritage of the Old Testament. What we believe can be defined even more specifically as traditional Protestant Christianity with the added unique distinction which we have inherited from our founder, John Wesley. Beyond this, the United Methodist Church encourages us to think for ourselves, and as such we do not necessarily share the same opinions about every faith issue or social concern. At the same time, we value group study and community prayer.
     
As United Methodists, we celebrate our joyful obligation to share faithful witness to Jesus Christ and the difference He makes in our lives. We recognize and worship Christ as the living redeemer at the center of the Church’s life and mission. In order that we might faithfully carry out that mission we strive for our faith to grow ever deeper. That means ongoing, sincere, prayerful reflection on our biblical study of God and living daily to show faithfully the witness we make during our lifetimes.
