Hospitality & Outreach

Hospitality

 

In the south, we know that hospitality is making others feel at home.  We want guests to feel at home in our church, as well as know Jesus Christ personally, therefore it is important, that we know how to share our faith.  We all have a story to tell.  Learning how to share that story, helps us grow in our faith, commitment and outreach to others. 

 

I seldom, if ever, talk about church or faith matters with another, unless I know that the person is a Christian. 

 

Become a part of a small group that holds you accountable as well as nurtures you.

o  Sunday Morning Small Group Classes

o  Short Term Classes 

o  Extended Small Group Classes



I enjoy serving people and letting them know that I do it because God loves them. 

o  Attend  the short term class, Just Walk Across the Room

 

I seek opportunities to share with non- Christians what my relationship with Christ means to me. 

o  Discover opportunities to be in mission with our community.  Volunteer to be a Worship Angel

 

I have helped at least one person know Jesus Christ. 

o  Research how you can offer servant kindness to others.

 

I have helped others learn to share their faith and they have led others to know Jesus Christ. 

o  Lead a hospitality/outreach ministry

 

Outreach

 

John Wesley, the leader of early Methodists, encouraged them to to all the good they could to all the people they would in all the ways they could.  He saved all he could to give to others, and ministered continually to others needs by caring for and visiting the sick and imprisoned.  We continue that emphasis on ministry to each other, as well as our community and world.  The United Methodist Church is committed to mission through out our world, and is often first on site with crisis and natural disasters. 

 

My primary concern is caring for my own needs.
