The Legs of the Table

The communion table is a way of picturing our future as a church. The Long Range Planning Committee has identified four “legs” of this communion table. These legs are the core values that uphold University United Methodist Church.



Statement 1: Worship
We worship God with a variety of formats and with several styles of preaching and music. We are united by our belief in the holy Trinity and our desire to praise God through our worship.



Statement 2: Community
We weave a community of faith by welcoming all who wish to participate and by nurturing their lives and leadership. We value the diversity of our community and actively work to learn from each other.



Statement 3: Service/Servanthood
We serve Christ by bringing others to God and meeting their needs in the world. We profess special affinity for those in poverty, children, and the university community.



Statement 4: Faithfulness/Commitment

We support our church with our prayers, our presence, our gifts and our service. Led by the Holy Spirit, we strive to understand and follow God’s will for our church.
