ABOUT US
MARY TAYLOR MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
Our Mission Statement
Mary Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church is a community growing
in God's grace and love.  We are committed to following Christ's
teachings and example by heeding his call to feed the hungry, welcome
the stranger, preach the good news, teach our children and youth and
visit the sick, homebound, and imprisoned.  We recognize and celebrate
the diversity of God's creation and God's gifts.  As disciples of Our Lord,
we publicly acknowledge, welcome, and support people of all races,
genders, sexual orientations, ages, nationalities, ethnicities, abilities,
and socio-economic situations.  Our welcome knows no boundaries.  
Called by the Holy Spirit to share a ministry that reflects God's love and
justice, we embrace and honor all who participate in the ministries and
leadership of our church.
                     Who We Are

Mary Taylor Memorial UMC is part of the second largest Protestant
denomination in the United States - the United Methodist Church.  
Spread across the country with great ethnic diversity, the UMC is a "large
tent" that includes people with a wide range of understandings and
What joins us together is a commitment to grow in grace and in the
knowledge of God and a further commitment to serve our sisters and
brothers, whoever they may be, in the name of Jesus Christ.  Mary
Taylor Methodists are heirs of John Wesley, the spiritual father of
Methodism.

Two of Wesley's watchwords on differences of opinion are reflected in
our life together.  One is, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in
all things, charity, " meaning that though we may not agree on all things,
we are united in our belief in God's abundant love and grace and seek to
ground our life together in that love.  In a similar vein, Wesley spoke of
this uniting love when he said, "If your heart is as my heart, give me your
hand."   

The United Methodist Church is not a "creedal" church, which is to say
that there is not one particular creed or formula of faith to which one must
agree in order to become a member.  At Mary Taylor Memorial, we
recognize that people are at all stages of their Christian journey.  We
invite all to find a spiritual "home base" in our church community.
