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.

    Welcome to Hand in Hand

    We wish to extend an invitation to anyone who is looking for a church family -- or travellers who are looking for fellow believers to enjoy a time of connection and worship while passing through town. You'll find a heartfelt love for Jesus and each other.

    If you are not involved in a church, but are curious about the possibilities that a community church offers, we welcome you to come, be our guest, and explore the possibilities together at your leisure.

    You'll experience first hand a sense of authentic community, with comaraderie, and heart felt love.

    A Member of The Churches of the Twin Tiers (COTTT)

    At Hand in Hand, we see unity with believers from all churches, both globally and within our community as being important to Jesus, and so its important to us (John 17:20-23). As believers, we have an opportunity to be a part of answering Jesus' dieing prayer for His church. That is why we have partnered on a local level with COTTT. COTTT's VISION is that the many Christ-honoring congregations would demonstrate their oneness in Christ by engaging together in activities as the Church of the Twin Tiers, praying, worshipping, and serving Christ together believing that He will transform the Twin Tiers.
