When you join The United Methodist Church, you pledge your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Everyone is called by God to minister in some way, depending on your gifts and abilities. Working together, we can accomplish so much more. Ministering to others is not just for the pastor, but it is incumbent on us all. Whether you are a lifetime member, a new member, or just visiting ... your assistance is appreciated and welcomed as we seek to serve our church and our community.
