WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION

The mission of ASUMC is Gathering people into communion with Jesus Christ, one another, and the world.

We do this through three primary ways:

- Gathering into communion with Jesus Christ through weekly worship and daily prayer.

- Gathering into communion with one another through discipleship opportunities such as small groups, youth group, and Bible studies.

- Gathering into communion with the world through various mission projects, community outreach and connectional church financial contributions.

OUR PRAYER

Almighty and everlasting God,
whose sacred communion is the source of all life and whose divine  communication imparts all love;

Grant that we might hear and answer your call to join in communion with you in order to receive new life, with each other in order to share in your grace, and
with your world in order to offer your love and healing to all creation.

OUR WELCOMING STATEMENT

All Saints’ United Methodist Church is committed to being a Christian community which seeks to reflect Christ in all aspects of our life together. As such a community, we welcome and value the sacred worth of every individual, without exception. We welcome individuals of every age, ability, race, color, creed, ethnicity, economic status, sexual orientation, gender identity, education level, marital status, nationality and country of origin. All are welcome at All Saints' United Methodist Church, where we strive to follow the greatest commandments: to love God and to love our neighbor.

OUR VALUES

We value Scripture, Tradition, Reason, and Experience as sources of guidance and inspiration.

The study of Holy Scripture - with consideration given to tradition, reason, and Christian experience - directs our course and helps us to navigate the challenges of life in the sure knowledge of God’s redeeming love for all creation.

We value the holy sacraments of baptism and communion

Each is a means of grace and is central to our shared life at All Saints’. Baptism initiates us into Christ’s holy church, making strangers and friends into members of the family of Christ. Holy Communion nourishes us for our life of discipleship in the world and reminds us that in Christ, no matter our individual differences, we are one. Gathering around the baptismal font and the eucharistic table are essential acts, drawing us into the Communion of Saints - past, present, and future.

We value community.

We believe that life with God is not a solitary journey but one that can only thrive when shared with others. We cherish the community we have at All Saints’; with our local neighbors, including nearby churches, schools, philanthropic organizations, and individuals; and with the entire world. Acknowledging that many have been wounded by the Church universal, we believe that God can work through us to help heal those wounds and to break down barriers that exclude or discourage any person from participating fully in our community. All God’s people are welcome as we grow in diversity and hospitality.

We value the
ministry of all
people.

As members of the Body of Christ and the priesthood of all believers, we recognize that God has bestowed each person - lay and clergy alike - with gifts, talents, skills, and resources to be used for the good of the community. We understand the importance of identifying and celebrating those gifts as we prepare people for Christian service and wise stewardship of all God has entrusted to us. All are called to serve the Lord, and we cherish the opportunity to affirm and nurture people at every stage of life as they discern their individual and collective calls. We especially appreciate the unique ministry talents of children, of youth, and of adults.

We value corageous ministry

We value ministry that responds to the needs of our local community and the world, embodying the Gospel and our church’s mission, even when that requires us to step outside of our comfort zone. Following Jesus requires us to be bold in serving him in every circumstance. We are not afraid to try new things, evaluate outcomes, and alter our course when appropriate.

We value growth.

We believe that disciples of Jesus Christ should strive to grow in communion with him, one another, and the world. We recognize that such growth is measured in multiple ways, such as depth of individual faith, level of committed engagement beyond weekly worship, and number of members. Faithful and intentional growth of our ministries will increase All Saints’ level of impact, both in the lives of our members and in the lives of those in our surrounding community and world.
