Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors Our Mission
The Rhythm of Discipleship
At Faith United Methodist Church, our mission is Making new disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world We believe a disciple is someone who strives to live like Jesus, loving God and loving others. “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ “ Matthew 22:37-39 (NIV)

...The Resurrection and the Life
Contrary to popular belief, Jesus is not the ultimate answer man, but more like the great questioner. If we look closely at scripture, we’ll see that Jesus asked far more questions than he answered. Do you wrestle with questions about life and faith, and how everything is supposed to fit together? Do you have questions you wish someone in the church would address?
