Our Mission
“Welcome all. Love deeply. Serve boldly.”.
The mission of the AFUMC is to develop new and maturing followers of Jesus Christ. We envision the transformation of the Adrian community. We are called to live and share the love of God as revealed in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. We dedicate ourselves, through the grace of God, to know, teach, and witness to the love God has for the world and to minister to all of God’s creation.
Living into our mission of followers of Jesus Christ is one step in helping us fulfill our vision…
Our Vision
We see a vibrant, loving, diverse faith community:
- buzzing with joy, overflowing with grace, and pulsing with the Spirit
- where healing happens, curiosity is welcome and ALL God’s children gather
- known by our presence in the community, meeting people in their needs so that
Adrian is kinder, more connected, and more hopeful because we are here.
And through all we do, we are clear about our bottom-line purpose…
Our Purpose
We seek to be the transforming love of Christ so that everyone may find belonging, purpose, and joy in God’s unfolding story.
What’s the reason God created his Church in the first place? We believe he made the church – the body of Christ in this world – so that every person might experience his love. Even the person who never professes faith in Christ can experience love. And we want to be those agents of love and grace in our community.
