What if church wasn't just a place to go? what if "church" was a verb? Changing "church" into a verb is a
goal for the United Methodist Church. See how you can help.
United Methodist Church
is now on Facebook
Stay up to date with the latest with ministries, service and the other many aspects of the United Methodist
Church.
Just go to Facebook to learn more about what local churches are doing to spread the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, how they are serving their communities and to see some of the ideas that many members of our congregations are using to reach
people in need of assistance and who have yet to hear the Good News.
Rocky Mountain Conference
The United Methodist Church is separated into various jurisdictions,
conferences and then
districts. Shepherd

the Rocky Mountain
Conference, which is based
in Denver, Colo.
Open Hearts -- Open Minds -- Open Doors
The United Methodist Church was born on April 23, 1968, when the Methodist Church
and the Evangelical United Brethren Church joined
at the constitutional
General Conference in Dallas, Texas.
Wherever you go, when you see a church with the cross and flames of the United Methodist Church, you know
that you've found your church home.
John Wesley and the early Methodists were particularly concerned about
inviting people to experience God’s grace and to grow in their knowledge and love of God through disciplined Christian living. They
placed primary emphasis on Christian living, on putting faith and love into action. This emphasis has continued to be a hallmark of
our church. The United Methodist Church invites you to learn more about our rich theological heritage by clicking on the link.
United Methodists come in all sizes, shapes, colors, dispositions, outlooks and life stories, but share a
unique history and faith perspective. Our members speak many languages and live in many countries.
No
matter how or where they serve Jesus Christ, United Methodists do God’s work in a unique structure — referred to as “the connection."
This concept has been central to Methodism from its beginning. Connectionalism comes to life through our clergy appointment system,
our mission and outreach, and through our collective giving. We live out our call to mission and ministry by engaging in ministry
with the poor, combating diseases of poverty by improving health globally, creating new places for new people and renewing existing
congregations, and developing principled Christian leaders. No one congregation can do all these ministries, but together — through
the power of our connection — we can make a tremendous difference.

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living
reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological
inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.
Learn how one person can make a difference in the world by seeing how you can help others in a time of need.
See stories of faith and find resources that will help in your ministry. And don't miss out on the "MethoPedia."
