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.

“Jesus is that King. But in an astonishing way. We know that he is ultimately on his way to the cross. His kingship, symbolized by his station upon a humble colt, is one of sacrifice and service. And yet, as Lord, he is not a helpless victim. He is in charge. He is working out God’s plan in this demonstration of royal authority. Even in the process of letting go of his life, he is in charge of the liberation of God’s people. He puts our lives before his own life.Our calling, having recognized Jesus’ Lordship, is to emulate his regal imperative. To live our lives as he lived his, in service to—and perhaps even in sacrifice for—the lives of God’s people.”—Rev. Dr. Brian Blount, from his commentary on Mark 11:1-11Art: "Palm Sunday Was a Protest" by Rev. Nicolette Faison (@nicolette.faison) | @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.
