Vision
Our Mission Statement
Epworth United Methodist Church is a family of followers of Jesus
Christ.
Founded in grace, united in support of each other; we share our faith
through worship, study, prayer, and action.
Recognizing the violence and brokenness within our society and
ourselves;
we believe in the possibility of repentance, reconciliation, and change.
We are called to speak out on issues of peace and justice, and to point
the way to hope and healing for all who despair.
Our commitment to our neighborhood is to be a compassionate advocate for
children and youth; to serve the needs of the homeless, the elderly, and
disenfranchised within and around us. We work with others to forge an
open
and caring, multicultural community.
Respecting the differences created by age, race, gender, national
origin,
sexual orientation, social and economic condition; we affirm the
presence
and seek the participation of all persons regardless of these
distinctions. Depending on God's grace ourselves, we seek to represent
that grace to the world. We welcome all of God's children without
reservation.
