Our Mission

Erie UMC Mission Statement: The people of the Erie United Methodist Church affirm Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and seek to share his love with each other, the community and the entire world.

The United Methodist Church Mission Statement: The mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by proclaiming the good news of God's grace and by exemplifying Jesus' command to love God and neighbor.

The United Methodist Church affirms that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world, and the Lord of all. As Thursday, August 7, 2008 end religious freedom for all persons. Jesus' words in Matthew provide the Church with our mission: "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you" (28:19-20), and "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. . . . And you shall love your neighbor as yourself." (22:37, 39).

The promise of "Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors." from the people of The United Methodist Church is being adopted and lived out in our almost 36,000 congregations in the United States. Our open hearts are evident not only in our shared theology but also in our service to the world; our open minds focus on servanthood; and our open doors allow for a variety of understandings within a single faith community.
