Our Mission
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.
We desire to live with intention, to grow in faith, and to extend compassion beyond our walls. We believe that discipleship is not just about belief—it’s about action. It’s about becoming people who reflect Christ’s love in everyday life, in every relationship, and in every corner of our community.
Our Vision in Action
At KUMC, our vision is lived out through four guiding priorities. These aren’t just statements—they’re invitations to a way of life:
- Live With Purpose We encourage one another to live intentionally, rooted in faith and guided by the teachings of Jesus. Whether through worship, study, service, or fellowship, we seek to grow spiritually and make meaningful contributions to the world around us.
- Change Lives Through LifeBridge Developed from a passion to build deeper relationships with members of the community and to find ways to partner with individuals in the long-term work to transform their lives and break cycles of poverty. LifeBridge offers financial education, a low cost food market and clothing closet, financial grants and heart-to-heart tutoring.
- Invite the Community In We open our doors wide to welcome all who seek connection, belonging, and spiritual renewal. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or returning after a season away, you’ll find a place here to be known, loved, and supported.
- Meet the Community Outside the Walls Our faith compels us to go beyond Sunday mornings and church buildings. We actively engage with our neighbors, partnering with local organizations, responding to needs, and showing up with compassion wherever we’re called.
A Church For ALL
We believe in a God whose love knows no bounds. Following the radical hospitality of Jesus, we strive to love our neighbors without exception. At KUMC, we welcome, affirm, and invite all people to worship, serve, and lead—regardless of race, color, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, age, physical or mental ability, economic circumstance, or political perspective.
