Seymour Lake United Methodist Church Purpose Statement

Seymour Lake United Methodist Church seeks to be the family of God, striving for truth and meaning in life,

using as our foundation the teachings of Jesus Christ. We are an intergenerational fellowship which seeks a place

where all can participate in the building of God's Kingdom. We seek to do this by our worship, our prayer, and our

service to the community and the world.

The Process for Carrying Out Our Mission

We make disciples as we:

Proclaim the gospel, seek, welcome, and gather persons into the Body of Christ;
Lead persons to commit their lives to God through Jesus Christ;
Nurture persons in Christian living through worship, baptism, communion, Bible and other studies, prayer, and other means of grace;
Send persons into the world to live lovingly and justly as servants of Christ by healing the sick, feeding the hungry, caring for the stranger, freeing the oppressed, and working to have social structures consistent with the gospel; and
Continue the mission of seeking, welcoming and gathering persons into the community of the body of Christ.

Te goal of this church is to spend time in a discerning process to define our vision and mission as a local church.
We will also look at our growing edges to see what we need to be moving to as far as a church of our size.
