Mission:

Making Disciples of Jesus Christ for the Transformation of the World.

Vision:

Preparing servants who make a difference in their community and  the world by knowing Christ, sharing Christ and emulating Christ.

History:

On 22 January 1883 the Methodist Church, now known as the Flushing Methodist Episcopal Church, went up in flames. Regardless of whether the fire started from an overheated furnace or a spark from a chimney, the congregation forged ahead and began making plans for a new church building. The new church was officially dedicated on 29 July 1884.

As Flushing UMC entered its 158th year, an increase in worship attendance and a growing desire to fulfill the church vision of Invite, Nurture and Serve resulted in what was called Vision 2000: Great Heritage – Great Future, a 3-year stewardship and building campaign. On September 10, 2000, following a great deal of planning and preparing, The Vision 2000 kickoff was held. With the support of friends and members a great deal was accomplished that enhanced the church’s ability to continue to reach out and serve the community.

About Us:

We try to live out Christ's commanments to love God and to love our neighbor; therefore we are actively engaged in both the nurturing of our own souls and the reaching out to our community with God's love.
