~ What Does It Mean to Say That We Are United Methodist Congregation? ~

To say that we are a United Methodist congregation, means that we are:

EPISCOPAL

Our Annual Conference (which is a collection of hundreds of churches in the Eastern and South-Central are of Pennsylvania) is overseen by a bishop who appoints pastors to congregations, and along with a cabinet of District Superintendents, guides the work of all the congregations in our area.

CONNECTIONAL

Our congregation partners with other United Methodist congregations, national boards, and mission organizations in our district, conference, jurisdiction, and in other conferences and Methodist denominations around the world.

MISSIONAL

Through our connectional partnerships, we support mission work in almost every other country around the world, reaching out to people of almost every tongue and people group.

WESLEYAN

Our heritage flows from the lives and ministries of John and Charles Wesley, who were Anglican priests in the 18th Century in England.  Their understanding of what it means to be a Christian flows through our ministries, structures, and our way of being the people of God in our community.

A PEOPLE OF OPEN HEARTS, OPEN MINDS, AND OPEN DOORS

We invite one and all to join us on the journey toward seeking, serving, and sharing God through worship, spiritual  growth, fellowship, and mission involvement.  Our goal is to introduce each and every person to (in the words of a traditional hymn) the "Amazing Grace" of God, so that one day "All the Earth Will Sing His Praises" (to quote a contemporary worship song).


WE THEREFORE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US ON THIS JOURNEY, BECOMING A CHRISTIAN OF 'METHODIST FLAVOR!'
