Coming up

Join us this Sunday for “Unexpected Messengers: The Power of Hidden Gifts” in our ongoing series, “Resurrection Matters.” What if the greatest messages come from the most unexpected places? This week, we delve into a profound truth revealed by who Jesus chose to appear to first after His resurrection—not the influential or the expected, but Mary Magdalene and other women, often overlooked by their society. Discover how God’s pattern of using the unexpected extends to each of us today. Are your personal traits and simple actions more impactful than you realize? Could your unique abilities be the very gifts God uses to spread hope and love? We’ll explore how recognizing our gifts, embracing small actions for big impacts, and moving forward with confidence in our spiritual contributions can transform not just our lives, but the world around us. Don’t miss out on uncovering how you too can be a part of the ongoing resurrection story through the ordinary, yet extraordinary, gifts you hold. See you at the service!

We Are Global Methodists

Since its inception, God’s Spirit has enlivened the Methodist movement. In the 1720s John and Charles Wesley and friends at Oxford University met together to deepen their Christian faith through daily, practical spiritual disciplines. Derided by others as a “new sect of Methodists” for their “methodical” ways of practicing the faith and holding one another accountable to it, the small group embraced the insult and persevered in their fellowship. And so they and the millions who followed after them have ever since been known as “the people called Methodists.”
