What to expect
Informal, warm, intimate, friendly...
These are all words that describe what it's like here at Colemanville. It doesn't matter if you're wearing jeans or if you like to dress up. There's a mix of folks of all ages at our worship services. It also doesn't matter whether you've been going to church for many years, or if you've never set foot inside a church before. You can be confident that you're welcome here. We're glad to see you!
9:00 AM WORSHIP
Our Worship service is a very satisfying blend of modern praise music, testimonies, prayer requests, and getting fed spiritually from the Bible. Get your Sunday off to a beautiful start by joining us.
9:00 AM WORSHIP
When we say "traditional worship" we don't mean "formal and stuffy". No, what we mean is that you get to enjoy our choir and sing well-loved hymns with lyrics that give you something to think about.
Our Commitment to God & One Another
It's entirely about God.
Colemanville United Methodist was founded in 1849. Our reason for existing remains the same; to know the Lord Jesus Christ and make Him known in our community and world. We have made the following commitments to God and one another. With the Lord's help, we strive to live them out each day.
1. We accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and give Him first place in our livers. Our first allegiance is to Jesus, following Him wwith love and integrity, and serving Him with devotion.
"If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9
2. We accept the Holy Bible as God's inspired word for our lives. We not only treasure the Bible, we study it and teach from it. We choose to accept its truths, trust its promises, and are guided by the values and judgements the Living God has placed in it.
"Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105
3. Our faith relationship with Jesus Christ is personal, but never private. For us, to be Christians is to be part of God's family. We are committed to faithfully caring for and encouraging one another, as brothers and sister Christians, in our Christian walk and service.
"As we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially those who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:10
4. We believe God has given His family members talents, resources and abilities to be used to benefit and bless the church and community we want to service and win for Christ. We are committed to investing and using our God-given gifts in service and ministry that will honor our Savior and be a blessing to others.
"God gives a great variety of gifts for us to use for the common good." I Corinthians 12:7
How We Serve Others
We get our hands dirty for the Kingdom of God.
We are devoted to being a church who does! What that means is this....it's one thing to talk about your faith, and it's another thing entirely to get your hands dirty in living it out. To us, it is extremely important for people who are sincerely trying to follow Christ to do BOTH of those things...all the time. So, we roll up our sleeves and work up a sweat in a number of great ministries to feed the hungry, clothe the poor, and heal the sick. But we also look forward to telling you WHY we love Jesus as much as we do.
God's called you to do something for Him. We'll help you find what it is.
Each person who enters into a relationship with Jesus Christ is equipped by God with their own package of talents, capabilities, and gifts. God wants you to use what He's given you to benefit others. So do we...so we'll give you the opportunity to unpack what God's given you and use it well.
We share Christ.
There's a whole lot of pain, suffering, sadness, fear, mistrust, greed, envy, and selfishness in the world. BUT, there's a remedy. It's not guaranteed to make all our problems go away. But it IS most definitely the way for us to cope with those problems and to overcome them. That remedy is for each person to have an active relationship with Jesus Christ. So, we do our best to help people to find that relationship.
