At Faith United Methodist Church, we strive to engage in Christian ministry which accomplishes what we believe to be God's purpose for us as a church:

HONORING GOD... through worship, prayer, stewardship, and Christian fellowship.

SHARING CHRIST... through ministries of witness, service, and caring.

TRANSFORMING LIVES... through opportunities for Christian spiritual growth which prepare and send us into the world as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Each of these three fundamentals of our purpose is biblically based, and gives us a framework out of which all of ministries and activities proceed.

HONORING GOD (Matthew 22:36-40) includes the ministries of...

Worship - encountering and experiencing God through corporate and personal praise, celebration and acknowledgment of God's presence.

Prayer - Encountering and experiencing God through corporate and personal communication and communion with God.

Stewardship - Encountering and experiencing God through the wise use of our time, talents, finances, and other resources.

Christian Fellowship - Encountering and experiencing God through church ministries which incorporate and network people in faith as they develop Christian relationships.

SHARING CHRIST (Luke 4:16-19) includes ministries of...

Witness - Sharing our faith in Jesus Christ with others.

Service - Following Christ's example by providing for the physical and material needs of others.

Caring - Demonstrating the compassion of Christ by providing for the spiritual and emotional needs of others.
