MINISTRIES
WE THINK CHURCH CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE
Church doesn't just happen when we're sitting in the pew.
Church happens
​
-
when we reach out to those who are hungry, sick, or forgotten
-
when we work together to end disease and relieve suffering
-
when we stand together for justice and inclusion,
-
and when we open our hearts to those who are struggling.
That is what it means to put faith into action.
That is what it means to RETHINK CHURCH.
It's rooted in our Wesleyan heritage
MUSIC MINISTRY
Our choir, under the direction of Andrew McCormick, shares special music in a variety of styles several times a month during Sunday morning worship services.
​Soloists and small groups, both vocal and instrumental, also provide music throughout the year.​
​
The choir rehearses in the sanctuary on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 p.m.
ADULT EDUCATION
We are offer various workshops, classes, and study groups for adults throughout the year. Our current studies include:
​
SMALL GROUP STUDY
"The Chosen"​
A new group will form in January to watch Season 2!
​Our fall study group on "The Chosen," the highly acclaimed TV series about the life of Jesus, meets Tuesday mornings at 10:00am. At each session throughout this 8-week study, we will watch and discuss an episode together. An accompanying study guide parallels each episode and contains questions for reflection, script excerpts, quotes, illustrations, and more. What does it mean to actually be chosen? Join us as we explore that question together!
SMALL GROUP STUDY
United Methodist Revised Social Principles
Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. (September 15 - November 3)​
At the postponed 2020 General Conference held in 2024, delegates approved the first overhaul of the United Methodist Social Principles in nearly 50 years. The Social Principles, contained in both the Book of Discipline and Book of Resolutions, are statements that reflect official United Methodist teachings on a wide range of topics which include the importance of advocating for human dignity and combating racism and other threats, caring for creation and the environment, standing against social ills, and supporting healthy community in all its forms, including economic, social and political. They are not church law but are intended to inform United Methodist witness on issues of the day with a biblical foundation.
​
The New England Annual Conference Commission on Religion and Race (CORR), Board of Church and Society, and Commission on the Status and Role of Women (COSROW) have created this eight-part video series exploring the revised Social Principles with an invitation to reflect on and actively engage with these principles.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Our Sunday School class meets during the 11:00 a.m. worship service. After the Children's Story with Pastor Victoria, children are invited to join two of our Safe Sanctuary certified adults for a lesson, craft, and snack.
