Deeply rooted

Facing the Future worship service at GCORR

United Methodists enjoy a rich history, one steeped in Scripture, tradition and faith.

John Wesley's advice to the people called Methodists:

By Methodists I mean, a people who profess to pursue (in whatsoever measure they have gained) holiness of heart and life... in a steady imitation of Him they worship... in justice, mercy, and truth, or universal love filling the heart, and governing the life.

United Methodists' roots also include people who for more than 2000 years have followed Jesus. 

Consider how you are a deeply rooted person of God.
