Genesis Church Believes . . .

  • a "call" is not a vocational choice but a special way of understanding what we are here for.
  • every single one of us has a "good work" to do in life; this good work not only accomplishes something needed in the world, but completes something in us.
  • God is found in right relationships, not right ideas.
  • Jesus is God in human form.
  • the Bible is meant for transformation, not just information.
  • we can find more grace in our questioning than we can in absolutes.
  • a truly diverse church has a better chance of reflecting the fullness of God's image and character.
  • a sense of humor makes life in community possible--and more fun!
  • prayer is the foundation of everything we do.
Our Vision Statement . . .

By God’s grace, we will be a transforming presence in the world journeying toward spiritual maturity.

 

Our CORE Values are . . .

Open Chair
We are driven with a desire to welcome everyone.  God, by all appearances, makes the invitation to YOU unconditional. Church ought to be a place where you can find the same. At Genesis we make room for the person not yet here.

Celebration
Worshipping God is a celebration, something you can feel at a deep level.  Worship at Genesis communicates Christ's Good News in creative and engaging forms: drama, cinema, dance , silence, singing and preaching that connects with our lives.  We believe that when God's people gather, it is a celebration.

Community
Being Christian is not a solo effort, but happens alongside others. Don't we all long for places where we belong?  Where the highs and lows are shared together?  Where we can experience God among others who understand?   We, at Genesis Church, are building a faith community filled with places to know and be known, through easy-to-join fellowship groups, study groups, and interest groups.

Extended Hand
Jesus is God’s compassion in the world.  As followers of Jesus, we live out our faith by connecting our gifts with the hurts and hopes of the world in life-changing ways.  At Genesis we offer many opportunities to be serving in Christ's name in the neighborhood, the city, the world.

Genesis Church. New beginning. Isn't it time? There's a place for you to experience the deep life-changing love of God at Genesis United Methodist Church.
