Rooted in the Great Commission, our own United Methodist Church denomination’s mission statement encourages us to “Make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” It’s through each expression of the local church where we inherit this same mission and live it out in our own communities and neighborhoods. To be faithful to this greater mission at such a time and place as this, we are “connecting our communities with Jesus to transform lives.”
We believe that God has not only called us but has also equipped us to live into our mission. God has equipped us with a strategy and a vision for embodying this mission to its fullness. The vision encompasses three key aspects:
We gather to build Christian community.
We grow to become more faithful followers of Jesus.
We go to serve and love all people in Jesus’ name.
