core values

Inviting


At Community United Methodist Church, we are inviting people into a relationship with Jesus Christ and creating a welcoming and loving place for all. We recognize the courage it takes to enter a church for the first time. Often people worry about what to wear, what to say and may be uncertain about faith in general. For this reason, we are intentionally creating a culture of inclusiveness and hope everyone experiences grace, connection and hope here at Community. Join us to experience connection with God and others!


"So welcome each other, in the same way that Christ also welcomed you, for God's glory."

-Romans 15:7


Growing


At Community United Methodist Church, we are deepening in our relationship with Jesus Christ while connecting with others and living out our faith. Community worship, small group and other learning opportunities encourage you to ask real questions and find answers through the power of the Holy Spirit. Growing in grace together, we become more loving and are gaining strength to face life's challenges. Join us to grow in love of God and neighbor!


"Therefore, imitate God like dearly loved children. Live your life with love, following the example of Christ, who loved us and gave himself for us. He was a sacrificial offering that smelled sweet to God."

-Ephesians 5:1-2


Serving


At Community United Methodist Church, we are identifying and empowering each other to use our gifts and answer our call to mission and ministry. We believe all people are called by God to serve others in response to God's extravagant love. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers and gives us everything we need to accomplish wonderful, adventurous and challenging acts of mission. Our call as part of the body of Christ is to serve those in need. Come serve and seek justice with us!


"I (Jesus) tell you this: whenever you saw a brother or sister hungry or cold, whatever you did to the least of these, so you did to Me."

-Matthew 25:40


Transforming


At Community United Methodist Church, we are making our community and the world a better place by sharing the grace and love of Jesus Christ. We believe a relationship with Jesus Christ changes everything. Jesus is offering everyone gifts of hope, forgiveness, wholeness, peace, and eternal life. This unexplainable love changes our perspective. We begin honoring God and seeking the health, welfare and prosperity of our neighbors. Join us to be part of transforming the world with love, grace and hope! 


"Pray like this: Our Father who is in heaven, uphold the holiness of your name. Bring in your kingdom so that your will is done on earth as it's done in heaven."

-Matthew 6:9-10
