Our Mission & Vision

Mission Statement:

Called to be faithful servants, sharing the good news of God’s grace.

Vision Statement:

Building beloved community.

At Union Avenue UMC, we put our faith into action. We love God by serving our community and working to break down the barriers that divide people from one another. We are partnering with God to build a better world.

“The good news is alive in the world. Do not be afraid. Go back to Galilee. Go back to Galilee where it all started. Go back to Galilee and celebrate like we did at the beginning when we were not afraid, when these words of liberation had not yet drawn the trappings of imperial execution.Here in this artwork, the crowd is celebrating. Figures are dancing and dancing and dancing. Doves fly among the dancers, breaking borders, Holy Spirit. This throng is in the vacant space of the empty cross.… Around the dancing figures in Galilee, patterns of doves disperse outward. The good news, the euaggelion, is alive in the world.”—from the artist’s statement for “Meet Me in Galilee” by Hannah Garrity | @sanctifiedart ... See MoreSee Less

Union Avenue UMC Congregational Statement of Love and Affirmation

Christ calls us to treat all equally as God’s children, not to distinguish any group of people as worth more or less than any other.  We therefore commit to love and affirm people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
