We seek to live as a diverse, multi-generational, Christian community that transforms individual lives and whole communities, through the love of Jesus the Christ.

We live out this mission by nurturing our faith and relationship with God through worship, fellowship, prayer, and sacraments; serving our community and those in need through our food pantry ministry, Stephen Ministry, and other ministries of compassion; and giving voice to the marginalized and poor through acts of justice.
Our congregation offers a wide range of ministry, education, and service opportunities for people of all ages. Our congregation is made up of people from various faith backgrounds, many of whom live in Blairstown and other surrounding areas.

What We Believe
The United Methodist Church is a global denomination that opens hearts, opens minds, and opens doors through active engagement with our world. The mission of The United Methodist Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
John Wesley and the early Methodists placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis on what Wesley referred to as “practical divinity” has continued to be a hallmark of United Methodism today.

We are a community of people just like you who are seeking purpose, direction, support, and companionship in life; people who know that the key to making the world a better place is transforming the life of one individual at a time; people who are seeking to know God, love God, and serve God.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.”
“The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.”
