Letter from the Pastor
YOU CAN BELONG HERE! :)
Hello & Welcome to Stilwell United Methodist Church!
Belonging is the foundation of our life together because we believe that each of us is a beloved child of God, created for connection with God and with one another. Belonging is more than membership or Sunday morning attendance. It is about finding our place within the Body of Christ, where we come to know and be known, love and be loved, and discover what it means to live together as one spiritual family.
My hope is that Stilwell United Methodist Church will be a commounty where you can belong. I hope you'll find people who are eager to get to know you, share their own stories, and walk alongside you through the joys and challenges of life. We welcome your questions, experiences, and gifts because we believe each of us has something to contribute to our life together.
Our mission is simple: "Love God, Live Love." We seek to put those words into practice through worship, meaningful relationships, and service to our neighbors. We don't pretend to have everything figured out, but we're committed to learning, serving, and growing together as followers of Jesus Christ.
Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning to church, or looking for a new spiritual home, please know that your past does not define your welcome here. You are already a beloved child of God, and we would love to get to know you and discover what God will do as we share this journey of faith together.
Grace and peace,
Rev. Phil Woodson
