We are a community of faith who takes seriously the words of Jesus to love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind AND to love our neighbor as ourselves. As a community we seek to act justly, love mercy, and walk with humility. You will find that our motto "All Means All" means that we are a 'come as you are' congregation who provide a place for community, contemplation and comfort. We embrace diversity. You are welcome here.
We meet Sundays at 11 a.m. for worship. Our service is livestreamed and can be viewed under the Livestream tab above. If we have technical difficulties, you can find us streaming on our Longview Umc Facebook page.
We are an open, welcoming, and mutually supportive community of Christian believers.
You are invited to find your place here.
You will not be judged.
You will not be told how to live your life.
You will not be told what to believe or how to think.
This is a place of refuge from abuse of church power; a place of shelter from thoughtless imposition of church doctrine; a place of sanctuary from religious persecution in all its forms.
If you have been hurt by religion in the past - put down for who you are, how you think, and what you believe, declared unworthy, cast out, or rejected by someone claiming to be God's helper - you may feel safe to rest in this community. We will share here together - all of us in the rejection of the last, the lost, and most lonely of our world, and in the rejection of our Lord. In this companionship we will come together - all of us -as precious children of God's creation.
Your freedom is precious. Your desire to explore your own spirituality is honored. You are invited to just "be" here; to sit, to pray, to slip into God's presence on your own, or to sing along as a full participant in the praise, thanksgiving, and celebration of this community.
You will not be a stranger in our community. You will be accepted for who and what you are, a precious child of God.
