  1. Being welcoming and friendly
  2. Doing evangelical Outreach
  3. Caring and Praying for one another
  4. Serving our community, nation and world 

 

WELCOMING STATEMENT

We, the congregation of Riverside Wesley United Methodist Church, are called to be disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.  We recognize that all are worthy of God's love and grace and seek to intentionally and publicly affirm our support and love for all God's children regardless of age, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, faith history, education, marital status, economic status, physical or mental condition.

At the same time that we do this, we understand and accept that we will have different opinions; however, we welcome all people into our congregation to engage in a fruitful discipleship that will lead us to greater understanding of one another and our own faith rooted in the love of God.
