First UMC of Moorestown
Mission Statement: LOVE GOD ~ REACH PEOPLE ~ SERVE ALL
As a Spirit-filled faith community we:
- LOVE GOD through faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, loving our neighbor, personal and corporate prayer, practice of spiritual disciplines, weekly worship, and the study of Scripture.
- REACH PEOPLE by inviting and welcoming all God’s beautifully diverse people withradical hospitality: by working toward full inclusion of all as a Reconciling Community of Faith; by engaging in digital and in-person ministry initiatives, including a strategic focus on reaching families with children; and by creating intentional discipleship pathways that span all generations. In this way we invite, connect, equip, and unleash disciples of Jesus Christ.
- SERVE ALL through Holy Spirit-breathed passionate ministries, mission, and outreach to a hurting and needy world by using our God-given gifts and resources (people, facilities and finances) to transform lives, families and communities in the name of Jesus Christ.
BY 2026 WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE COMMUNITY AS:
BEING RELEVANT:
- Thriving Digital Ministry where people can take steps in faith 24/7 and over 50% of our engagement will be online reaching over 500 people
- Updated facilities activated and modernized to be used for community engagement, ministry, and mission.
- Over 1000 people will be taking steps in life/faith journey monthly, as they integrate life,
faith, and relationships.
REACHING EVERY GENERATION:
