Our Mission
We are the Church of Jesus Christ. Our most important function is to
help one another to know Jesus and follow his teachings in order that
all might live in a close relationship with God. As United Methodist
Christians we value John Wesley's advice to use four guidelines to form
and test our beliefs:
- the Holy Scriptures
- the Church's tradition
- our own Christian experience
- our capacity to reason together
With this purpose as our foundation, we identify the primary tasks of
our congregation as follows:
TO REACH OUT AND RECEIVE
TO ENCOURAGE FAITH DEVELOPMENT
TO SERVE OTHERS
TO CARE ABOUT GOD'S CREATION
The major focus for Tewksbury United Methodist Church as we move toward
the new millenium is HOSPITALITY taking as our text the following verse
of scripture:
The words of Jesus, "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I
was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed
me." Matthew 25:35 |
