We focus the vision of the church to the children in church and surrounding communities. What is "Family?" Maumee United Methodist Church defines family as biological and chosen individuals bound together to provide support, love, and accountability for each member with a common goal. We are ALL one family. What is "Family Ministries?" MUMC believes Family Ministires are the process of intentional
ly restoring a church's declaration and ministry practices to equip family members by identifying family needs as they evolve. Whatever it is YOU need we want to be there for you. Christ-Like
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice of God.”
Ephesians 5:1-2
2. Safe
“Then Judah said to Israel his father, ‘Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die. I myself will guarantee his safety; you can hold me personally responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him here before you, I will bear the blame before you all my life.”
Genesis 43:8-9
3. Innovative
“No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins-and the wine destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.”
Mark 2:21-22
4. Unified
“Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.”
1 Peter 3:8
5. Compassionate
“But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
1 Timothy 5:8
6. Transparent
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
Ephesians 4:25-29
