We believe in connecting our communities with Jesus to transform lives.
One of our primary values at Mountain Park UMC is life-changing service. We believe as followers of Jesus we are called to “go to serve and love all people in Jesus’ name,” which requires us to put our faith into action. We do not just proclaim God’s love to the world, but we share and live it every day. Imagine when we, as children of God, seek to intentionally go and show up in our community to bless others, welcome and affirm them, and invite them into God’s growing family of salvation and redemption. God’s Kingdom is built one life at a time as faithful followers of Jesus see, serve, and love all the people God has called us to reach.
