The mission of the local church is making disciples of Jesus Christ.  This sounds simple, but it involves a wide range of ministries that seek to express our love of God through love of neighbor.  It encompasses the spiritual journey from brith and baptism to death and resurrection.  It is all about discipleship:  the adventure and challenge for a life-time.  Our "short-hand" or JFUMC way of living out the mission of the local church is expressed in our slogan:  GATHER - GROW - GIVE - GO.

Because being a Christian means being a member of a community of believers that cares for one another and serves others, we gather often and for many reasons.  We gather regularly for worship and service as well as for food, fun and fellowship.  Sometimes we actually do all of those things at the same time!
