About Us

 People's UMC is dynamically alive with the love of God. We acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. God's love and grace fill us with joy, strength and assurance. We are active in both our church and the community, striving to meet the needs of the people. We encourage each other as we grow as Christian disciples. 

 

We welcome you to join us on the journey to grow in your faith. As a faith family, we care for one another and all God's people, discover our unique gifts and talents for ministry, and do the work of Christ in the world. We enjoy our time together at People's UMC, through  worship, study, fellowship and service to and with others.  We invite you now to come journey in faith with us!  

 

People's Church is a friendly caring community of faith. The people of this congregation feel called to be signs of Christ's presence in a growing suburban community & agents of reconciliation in our nation & world.      

 Peace & Grace, Pastor Jon Claude Bartlett 

 

 

Our Vision:  Our dream is to make this church, this community and this world a better place, as we meet the needs of people and nurture our relationships with God.

We accomplish this with integrity, trust, honesty, respect and inclusiveness.

 

Our Mission: To make disciples of Jesus Christ to transform the world

 

Faith & Values: God is the creator of all.  Jesus loves us no matter what has happened to us or what we've done.

• The Holy Spirit leads us to deep joy, freedom, and ever more perfect love.
• The Bible opens us to encounter the living God.
• We are about helping people grow in their relationships with God through Jesus Christ.
• Jesus loves everyone, and therefore we welcome people of all ages, races, sexual preferences.

 Our Methods: Are to be inviting and welcoming; build relationships; grow through prayer, worship, service, and giving; transform through missions.

 

Our History:  In 1842, a Methodist Circuit Rider conducted the first religious service of any kind in the Town of Oregon at Runey's Tavern . (Now a popular local historic landmark). Homes, schools, and finally a building on Main Street, dedicated in 1862, served as places for the faithful to gather when the circuit riders came to town.
