Connect. Grow. Serve.
It is our DNA. It is who we are and how we do life and ministry. It is the discipleship process we believe all of our members should follow and embrace. You will see our motto in action with almost every process and step that we take. You will hear it during our services, you will see it in our media, you will read about it in our publications, and you will hear about it in our hallways – it is what we believe will help us live out and mature in our Christian faith.
Our motto and mission go hand in hand.
We exist in the Kingdom of God to help people become spiritual disciples who, in turn, practice their discipleship beyond the walls of our church. Our mission statement reflects our approach to this transformative engagement: CONNECT. GROW. SERVE.
We seek connection with God, one another, and with all people. We want to experience growth in our faith, our relationships, and in the depth of our discipleship. This results in service not only to our church, but to our neighborhood, the community, and to the world.
Middletown United Methodist Church began in 1800 as one of the stops on a horseback-riding circuit preacher’s route to hold church meetings in various communities. We are proud, not only of our local heritage, but of our Methodist/Wesleyan roots as well. For more info about our denomination and its founder, John Wesley, click on the links below.
