"The beginning of Christ-Compelled Multiplication isn't pipelines, or church planting, or coaching, or leadership development. It is this: Knowing Jesus Christ (as the One who knows & loves you fully).

When someone is thirsty for water, we don't give them a brochure about H2O. Your soul is thirsty for the living water, which God offers through Jesus by the Holy Spirit...will you drink this week? He is with you even now. (Drink slowly.)

Jesus reminds us in John 4:14, "...but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”

"Love-Driven Justice is the Truth of God's Kingdom, made visible." Pastor Wick

FMC 2023 Book of Discipline: “Love is the way we demonstrate God’s heart for justice by valuing the image of God in all men, women, and children, acting with compassion toward the oppressed, resisting oppression, and stewarding creation.
We devote ourselves to our founders’ deep convictions around matters of injustice as they took their stand against the evils of slavery, the oppression of the poor, the marginalization of women, and the abuse of power in the church. Our heart for justice continues and expands today, fueled by God’s holy love for the unborn, the vulnerable, oppressed, marginalized, and people of all races and ethnicities.
The Free Methodist Way is not only to realize a better Society, but that all may be reconciled to God and one another in ways that reflect God’s just character."

Last week we celebrated the ordination of Pastor Sarah! She has been serving as "Pastor" here for a couple of years already, but now officially has the title "Rev." Ordination is a meaningful moment where the global church affirms the gifts and callings of an individual, consecrating them for ministry.

Congrats Rev. Sarah! We are so thankful for you!
