We
live in a culture of paradox. On the one hand we
are prospering and moving forward. On the other hand we
are standing still. Many are unsure about their purpose
in life and are searching for meaning and direction. We
struggle daily with the grind, fight loneliness and "dis-ease"
of every variety. While resources are bountiful to create
happiness we hunger for peace and joy.
Jesus offers the peace and joy that the world needs. It
is not something that is here today and gone tomorrow, but
is eternal and lasting. God's call for us is to take God's
grace in Jesus Christ and share it with the poor, the hungry,
naked, with those who hurt. Our purpose is to bring hope,
healing and wholeness to the world in Jesus's name.
The mission of VUMC is simple: Make disciples who make more
disciples.
Everything we do is for the purpose of making disciples
for Jesus Christ. In worship and fellowship it is our every
intent to reach out to others to share Jesus's message of
hope, to bring healing and wholeness to the broken, to show
the way to lost and give life to the dying.
