Belonging to and Becoming like Jesus
At Northwood United Methodist Church, we believe in planting one seed at a time. We are a Christian church that believes in "belonging to and becoming like Jesus," but what does this actually mean?
This simple phrase is the identity of the Northwood Congregation. We stumbled upon this several years ago at a workshop where our leadership was to write a missi
on statement. We’ve been living into it and watching this identity unfold for us. We all belong to Jesus at the initiative and invitation of his grace. Everyone and anyone that walks through our front doors automatically belongs here. This has caused us to open our hearts, open our minds, and open our doors. Becoming like Jesus is a bit more challenging. In fact, it is a lifelong process. Worship, Bible study, prayer, service, and being in fellowship with other people who want to be like Jesus are all ways we find our lives transformed. By serving in our community, we find many opportunities to embody the grace of God and make God's love known to those around us.
