About

We Welcome, Celebrate, and Embrace All

At FUMCFW we affirm that all people are created in the image of God and as beloved children of God. We believe that all people are worthy of God’s unconditional love, grace, and inclusion. We embrace and celebrate the gift of diversity in our church and in our world. We recognize that while we may not all think alike on all issues, we can all Love God, Serve People, and Transform Lives in ministry together regardless of race, ethnicity, age, faith history, marital status, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, and physical or mental ability. We proclaim this statement of welcome to all who have known the pain of exclusion or discrimination in the church or in society, and we invite all people into full participation in the life of this community of faith as we all seek our highest and best expression of the transformative and all-inclusive love of God as revealed through Jesus Christ.

What We Believe

As a United Methodist Church, we recognize four sources and criteria for theological thinking: Scripture, Tradition, Experience and Reason. Together these are known as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral. Scripture is primary, so we understand our primary theological task as disciplined study of the Bible. The traditions of the Church throughout the ages, our personal faith experience and reason all serve to enlighten and enliven our understanding of scripture and its interpretation today. We do not, therefore, understand theology as static, for the exclusive property of any one particular doctrine or creed, but as a dynamic process involving the entire community of faith.

Our understanding of God as revealed in Jesus Christ compels us to open our hearts to the experience of God in our lives and in relationship with others; to open our minds to new and deeper understandings; and to open our doors to all people who would join us in loving God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves. We commit ourselves to going out to be God’s people in the world.

At FUMCFW, our mission statement is:

“To love God by following Christ and to serve people to help transform lives.”
