“The United Methodist Church forms disciples of Jesus Christ, who empowered by the Holy Spirit, love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously in local communities and worldwide connections.”
This statement, developed by the Council of Bishops and the Connectional Table, explains what the United Methodist Church is—and who we are called to be.
The Hinesville First United Methodist Church embodies these values in both our shared life and our personal walk of faith to:
• Love Boldly: Embracing and including all people, as Jesus did.
• Serve Joyfully: Caring for others with compassion and joy.
• Lead Courageously: Standing against injustice and working for peace.
This statement deeply aligns with the vision of the Hinesville First United Methodist Church: “Glorifying God Through Love and Faithful Service”
This vision statement is the foundation of everything we do as a church. It inspires us to reach out with compassion, serve our community faithfully, and reflect the love of Christ in all our ministries. With this guiding principle, we remain committed to creating a welcoming and uplifting environment where all can experience God’s loving presence.
