Taking inspiration from Scripture, bishops and other denominational leaders have developed a new vision statement for The United Methodist Church.
The vision states: “The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ who, empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.”
Reconciliation Statement
Mayfair Height United Methodist Church
We are the Mayfair Heights United Methodist Church and are committed to following the way of Jesus and Love ALL People! We view ourselves as a “Church with Heart in the Heart of the City,” and may be small in numbers but we are mighty in Spirit.
Our style of worship might be considered traditional, yet we are committed to worship with dignity and respect for all people and incorporate inclusive language for all.
We differ in race, age, gender, cultural background, marital status, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, gender identity, family structure, political stance, theological perspective, life circumstances and spiritual journey.
Diversity is a gift from God, and we are called to celebrate our differences as well as what makes us the same. We know that the church has at times rejected diversities and denied God’s promises for itself and for others. So, without reservation, we proclaim:
“Everyone is a beloved child of God, embraced and welcomed to the table of our loving Lord. Together let us share God’s love completely and make a transforming difference in God’s world!”
