Our Vision
To build a community where ALL are welcome to grow in faith in Jesus; through study, worship, prayer, and an invitation to serve God, our neighbor, and beyond.
Our Core Values
We value INCLUSION.
“We are no longer Greeks or slaves or free or even merely men or women, but we are all the same – we are one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:28
We affirm our commitment to being a church that embraces people of all ages, abilities, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, sexual orientations, and gender identities. We welcome ALL.
We value RELEVANT WORSHIP.
“Suppose some strangers are in your worship service. when you are praising God with your spirit. If they don’t understand you, how will they know to say, ‘Amen’? You may be worshiping God in a wonderful way, but no one else will be helped.” 1 Corinthians 14:16-17
We value preaching that relates to everyday life, and worship style and content relevant to people of different generations and backgrounds so that all can experience God in ways that best connect them to God.
We value GENEROSITY.
“But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let God’s grace go to waste.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Because God is so gracious to us, we value being generous in grace, in giving our resources, and in our service for others.
We value SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
“And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself in your conduct as God accurately reproduces God’s character in you.” Ephesians 4:22
We understand that no one is perfect but that, with God’s help, we can learn new ways of living and being that make us more and more like Jesus. We desire to build the foundation for people to grow in Christ-like character.
We value HOSPITALITY.
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2
We are committed to maintaining an environment that presents Christ to each person who walks through our doors. We work to ensure that every person who comes to Murrieta United Methodist knows that they are valued and belong within our community.
We value OUTREACH.
“And I pray that as you share your faith with others it will grip their lives too, as they see the wealth of good things in you that come from Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6
We believe that the church does not exist for itself but also for those beyond our walls. We are intentional about sharing our faith with others so that they may know of God’s great love for them.
We value JUSTICE.
“He has told you what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
We are committed to working for the well-being of all members of the local community, and to being a beacon of love, justice, and positive change in the wider world.
