Our Vision and Values

VISION STATEMENT

Serving God…Sharing Love…Changing Lives!

BIBLICALLY BASED VALUES

Our Core Values are based on the teaching and life of Jesus Christ and reflect our United Methodist heritage. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and using Christ as our model, we strive to adhere to the following values:

 BIBLE KNOWLEDGE

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 NRSV

The Bible guides us in our understanding of God and his work in our lives. 

 COMMUNITY, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND OUTREACH

“I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me.” Matthew 25:40 NLT

 We are committed to meeting the needs of others (our church family, community, nation, and throughout the world.)

 EXCELLENCE AND QUALITY

“…Strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.”

1 Corinthians 12:31 NRSV

We strive for excellence and quality which honor God and inspire people in all that we do.   

 SEEKING TRANSFORMATION

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.”  Matthew 28:19-20a NRSV

MUM seeks to provide the setting, tools and support to transform individuals into Christian disciples. 

 STEWARDSHIP

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do, says the LORD Almighty, ‘I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you!’”  Malachi 3:10 NLT

We at Monroeville United Methodist Church believe that we are called to be good stewards of all that God has given to us. This includes our time, talents and financial treasure, with the goal of these being the tithe.

 WELCOMING TO ALL PERSONS

“…You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39 NRSV

All people matter to God; therefore, they matter to us. 

 WORSHIP, PREACHING, MUSIC and PRAYER

“Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” Matthew 22:37 NIV

We are committed to providing worship experiences that connect people with God.
