Core Values

Everything we do must
point toward the mission

INVITING

We invite people into a relationship with Jesus Christ and create a welcoming and loving place for all. We recognize the courage it takes to enter a church for the first time. Often people worry about what to wear, and what to say, and may need clarification about faith in general. For this reason, we are creating a culture of inclusiveness so that everyone can find a place here at Macon UMC!

SERVING

We identify and empower each other to use our gifts and answer our call to mission and ministry. We believe all people are called by God to serve others in response to God's extravagant love. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers and gives us everything we need to accomplish challenging acts of mission. We do all we can to receive the power from God to do all we cannot. Come serve with us!

GROWING

We are deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ while connecting with others and living out our faith. Worship, small group, and other learning opportunities encourage you to ask real questions and find answers through the power of the Holy Spirit. Together, we can become more loving and gain the strength to face life's challenges as we grow in love of God and neighbor!

TRANSFORMING

We are making our community and the world a better place by sharing the grace and love of Jesus Christ. We believe a relationship with Jesus Christ changes everything. Jesus offers gifts of hope, forgiveness, wholeness, peace, and eternal life. This unexplainable love changes our perspective. We begin honoring God by seeking the health, welfare, and prosperity of our neighbors. Join us to be part of transforming the world!
