Love Boldly

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 Love Boldly: We passionately love God and, like Jesus, embrace and include people of every age, nation, race, gender, and walk of life. (Matthew 22:37-39 | John 13:34-35)

After a tornado, United Methodists are there to help.

United Methodists seek to live lovingly and justly as servants of Jesus Christ by loving and caring for others and working to develop social structures that are consistent with the gospel.

Attendees from the Fresh Expressions United Methodist National Gathering 2026 visited Beauty in a Canvass Tattoo and Art Gallery for an “immersion experience.” Tattoo parlors host some of the most popular Fresh Expressions, which is a Christian movement that looks to create faith communities in unorthodox settings.

Conversation and community building in informal settings are methods of reaching people who aren’t interested in attending church on Sunday mornings.
