Come Home to High Street
Our Mission:
The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds, and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United
Methodist Church, and all United Methodist churches, is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as "practical divinity" has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.
Here at High Street, we believe that true, restorative transformation comes out of community. We are taught, through the Trinity, that community is paramount to life. By placing our faith in God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, we are invited into this community. As such, we live into each other’s lives, building out and shaping our community around us. From our Food Pantry to our Sunday morning worship service, we are inviting all people to join into our community and live into the transformative power of the triune God.
Our Vision:
Create space for the future through spiritual formation in ourselves and providing space for spiritual formation in others.
Too often we overcrowd our lives and our schedules. We don’t create space to live and breathe and rest. We set ourselves to the work of being busy even to the detriment of our lives and relationships.
We strive as a community of faith to provide the space needed for personal spiritual growth in and through Christ, while recognizing that spiritual growth is best accomplished in community as we grow in discipleship through participation in Christ’s church. We seek to provide space and opportunities for such communal growth through study, worship, prayer, and service as we act as Christ’s hands and feet here on earth.
