Hand in Hand Free Methodist Church

Our Mission

We purpose to grow deeper and wider in Christ Jesus. We believe everyone is on a spiritual journey whether they realize it or not. And just as Jesus came to seek and save the lost, we are devoted to coming alongside anyone from any walk of life who is curious about what it means to trust and follow Christ. We are also committed to challenging Christians to continually become more like Him in character and obedience to His commands.

BECOMING INVOLVED -- Connection & Community

Outside of our Sunday service, we meet regularly in homes, restaurants, and other community locations. We are committed to building authentic and genuine relationships that propel us toward a greater love for God, and for each other.

This can be seen through small groups of people meeting informally in homes on a weekly or bi-weekly basis at various times during the year. These groups often will pray, sing, or work through various study topics of interest to all attending. If you are interested in starting a home group, please see one of the pastors.

This can also be seen in what we call Life Transformation Groups, groups of 2 - 3 people that meet weekly and discuss the real of life and how things are going with the purpose of intentionally asking hard questions that hold each other accountable.

We strive for a natural and relaxed approach in all that we do, it is never our intent to force or pressure someone to participate if they are not comfortable. God is a gentleman, and He always moves at a pace that is perfect for our growth and maturity. Please feel free to grow as the Holy Spirit leads. God will honor your sincerity and genuineness, and so will we!
