Who Are United Methodists?

Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.

At Joseph United Methodist Church, we’re part of a global movement of people seeking to live with compassion, courage, and purpose. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus and guided by the wisdom of the Spirit, we believe faith is not just about what we believe — it’s about how we live.

Our mission is simple and bold: to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God. That means we care for each other, our neighbors, and the earth itself. We show up. We serve. We listen. We lead with love.

With 5 million members in the U.S. and congregations around the world, United Methodists are diverse, curious, and committed to putting faith into action. Our roots trace back to John and Charles Wesley, who believed that spiritual transformation and social change go hand in hand. That legacy lives on today in our passion for education, inclusion, and justice.

We are thinkers and doers, mystics and activists, questioners and believers. We study scripture. We ask tough questions. We make room for mystery. And we welcome everyone — no matter who you are, who you love, or where you are on your journey.

We’re not just here to be the church. We’re here to make a difference.

We are United Methodists — and we are here for good.
