ABOUT US

The Sidney First Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.

 

In our worship, we desire to surrender to and be fully devoted to one God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We are passionate about what is important to God.

 

Jesus calls those who follow Him to love God wholeheartedly and love their neighbors as themselves. Our desire is to demonstrate to the world the extravagant love of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

 

We have been entrusted with a lifesaving and transforming message that we must share with others. Our witness is bold, compelling and fearless. Our mission advances when individuals become disciples of Jesus Christ and join God’s mission to make more disciples.

 

The Church’s vision is inspiring people to live, learn, and love like Jesus.

We seek to share God’s whole truth with all people and help advance His Kingdom in every culture and community.

 

The Sidney First Methodist Church is committed to Jesus’ Lordship, the authority of Scripture, and the Holy Spirit’s work in bringing God’s truth and grace to the world.

 

We value the gifts of all believers and serve together with equal voice and leadership. Our witness is marked by love, compassion, and care for the most vulnerable. We watch over one another in love and testify to the transforming power of the Gospel as we humbly, and boldly, serve as Christ’s ambassadors.
