Our Mission

Our mission is to worship Jesus Christ, build meaningful relationships with one another, reach new people with the gospel, and serve our community with love and compassion. We believe that by following Christ's example of selflessness and service, we can make a positive impact in the world around us. We are committed to creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels loved and accepted and has an opportunity to serve. Through our worship, outreach, and service, we strive to be a beacon of hope and light in our community, sharing the love of Christ with all those we encounter.

Our Faith

United Methodists, a protestant branch of the Wesleyan tradition, place a strong emphasis on the importance of grace, faith, and service. We believe that salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ and the acceptance of God's grace, which is freely given to all who believe. We also believe that good works and acts of service are important expressions of faith and a way to demonstrate God's love to others. We value spiritual growth and emphasize the importance of prayer, worship, and studying the Bible as means of deepening our relationship with God.
