Mission

We at Shepherd of the Valley United Methodist Church are a Christian community which strives to live God's commandment to love one another and follow the teachings of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

We are a people who come to God through worship experience.

We are a United Methodist congregation. We believe in the personal experience of God's love. This experience calls us to be witnesses for our faith and for justice in the world. We are part of the connectional church which unites us with others in our state, our region, our country, and our world.

We are a community of people who have begun our spiritual journeys in many different places and are growing together as a congregation.

We are welcoming of people of all ages, nations, and races; of all talents, skills, and abilities. We celebrate this diversity and its enrichment of our individual lives and that of our church.

We are seeking spiritual growth through prayer, study, worship, sharing, and stewardship. We challenge ourselves to grow individually and as a congregation.

We are a trusting and caring community, here for each other in times of joy and of need.

We are striving to become good stewards, seeking new ways to care for all that God has given us. Growth in giving our time, talent, gifts, and service is part of our spiritual life.

We are growing in reaching out to our community, through our denomination, and to our world.
