Serve Joyfully

Our Vision

The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.

Consider how we Serve Joyfully: With the heart of Christ, we journey alongside the most vulnerable among us, offering care and compassion with joy. (Psalm 100:1 | Nehemiah 8:10 | John 13:14-15 | 1 Peter 4:10)

How do you love, serve and lead? Share stories of the ways you and your church live out your faith through transformational ministry. Post on social media with #LoveServeLeadUMC and #BeUMC
