Who We Are
Welcome to this United Methodist congregation! It is one of the nearly 35,000 similar congregations spread across the United States, which, together, make up the United Methodist Church. Our denomination is often described as “the connection.”
The United Methodist structure and organization began as a means of accomplishing the mission of spreading scriptural holiness. Methodism’s founder, John Wesley, recognized the need for an organized system of communication and accountability and developed what he called the “connection,” a network of classes, societies, and annual conferences.
Today, our denomination continues to be organized in a “connectional” system, which “enables us to carry out our mission in unity and strength” (Book of Discipline, ¶ 701). Every local church is linked to an interconnected network of organizations that join in mission and ministry, allowing us to accomplish far more than any one local church or person could alone.
United Methodism is a diverse denomination with neither a “typical” congregation or an “average” United Methodist. The UMC connects more than 12 million members across four continents engaging in ministry around the world united in our faith in Jesus Christ. As our hymn, “We Are the Church,” UM Hymnal #557 states “The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is a people”
