You’re Invited to our Sunday Services and our upcoming Sermon Series – Does the Bible really say that?

There are a handful of well-meaning phrases that are part of our vernacular but can confuse, discourage or alienate people from God.

UMCG is Staying United Methodist

Hundreds of local churches are voting to leave the denomination over key cultural and doctrinal issues – primarily over LGBTQ rights and inclusion. Read the rest of our statement here.

Does the Bible Really Say That? “God Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It.”

We do believe that the Bible is inspired by God, but does this phrase just call us to check our brains at the doors? What about the passages in the Bible we don’t follow? How exactly do we interpret scriptures to teach, guide, shape and encourage us? Join Pastor Rob Hamilton as we explore this phrase for our lives today.
