Dear Friends,
There is a children's song which goes, "I am the church, you are the church, we are the church together. All who follow Jesus, all around the world, yes, we're the church together."
It's true. The church is not a building, nor a steeple, but the people who regularly gather to worship passionately, to intentionally grow in faith and understanding, to reach out to others in radical hospitality, to engage in risk-taking mission and to extravagantly give whatever we can to further God's causes in the world.
At First United Methodist Church of Maryville, we put "First Things First!" by engaging in ministries which do just that. In other words, our mission is to develop and encourage disciples for Jesus Christ.
Looking for a community of faith which will welcome you to use your God-given talents in ways which will help provide for self-fulfillment and make a difference in the world? Be sure to check us out. This congregation may be precisely the community which will connect your deepest passion with the world's greatest needs.
In Christ's Service,
Pastor Scott
