1837 | 2020

We are a community of brotherly love established in 1837. Our doors are open to all as we seek to become more like Jesus Christ and see His Kingdom built here in our midst by being His hands and feet when and where we can.

Our Mission

The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.


John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.
