Mary Taylor Memorial United Methodist Church

Mary Taylor Memorial UMC is part of the second largest Protestant denomination in the United States - the United Methodist Church.
Spread across the country with great ethnic diversity, the UMC is a "large tent" that includes people with a wide range of understandings and what joins us together is a commitment to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God and a further commitment to serve our sisters and
brothers, whoever they may be, in the name of Jesus Christ. Mary Taylor Methodists are heirs of John Wesley, the spiritual father of Two of Wesley's watchwords on differences of opinion are reflected in our life together. One is, "In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity, " meaning that though we may not agree on all things, we are united in our belief in God's abundant love and grace and seek to ground our life together in that love. In a similar vein, Wesley spoke of this uniting love when he said, "If your heart is as my heart, give me your hand."

The United Methodist Church is not a "creedal" church, which is to say that there is not one particular creed or formula of faith to which one must agree in order to become a member. At Mary Taylor Memorial, we recognize that people are at all stages of their Christian journey. We invite all to find a spiritual "home base" in our church community.
