2026 Service Commitment

When the very first churches worshiped together, the church was not a building. It was a movement made up of God’s people who hosted gatherings, visited the sick, and cared for those experiencing hunger and poverty. This was in accordance with Christ’s command that his people should love God and neighbor. Following Jesus's call, founder of the early Methodist movement John Wesley taught us to grow in our faith by “doing good of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all.” Wesley himself preached outside of buildings, riding throughout Britain preaching at worksites to those who would not take off Sunday mornings to attend a service.

We have come a long way since those days, but the church’s foundation still rests on Christ’s body. We might be lucky enough to have buildings, but, as it was in the beginning, the church is still its people. As the body of Christ, the church is a community of diverse persons with unique gifts and graces that is governed by Jesus Christ. And when you invest your time serving the church, the spiritual returns are rich and abundant.
