As a church, our Mission is to Follow Jesus, Grow Disciples, and Serve Others. Our purpose is to Gather as followers of Jesus Christ, Grow as disciples, Give of ourselves, and Go into the world in service.
Our Values
We foster a warm community where all feel like they belong. We support one another through the ups and downs, as well as the doubts, of life and faith.
We embody Jesus’ love for others by giving of our presence, gifts, and service as we hold sacred space that welcomes all people.
We believe that all persons are of sacred worth, worthy of love and belonging. We strive to be a church community where everyone is welcome without exception.
We are called to seek justice for all. We strive to embody God's love and compassion in our community and the world.
We acknowledge that prayer is the way that we keep our hearts connected to the heart of God and seek God’s heart in individual and communal prayer whenever we can.
We adopted the vision of the United Methodist Church as our own.
As a United Methodist Congregation, our vision is that we form disciples of Jesus Christ, who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously here in Parkville, MD.
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)
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)
Lead Courageously: Following Jesus’ example, we resist and dismantle all systems of evil, injustice, and oppression, striving for peace, justice, and reconciliation. (Joshua 1:9 | Ephesians 6:10)
