who we are


Oriental United Methodist Church is a diverse community of ordinary individuals who bravely place their trust in Jesus, allowing Him to perform extraordinary feats.


Statement of our core values

 

Since 1887, Oriental United Methodist Church has been and is committed to living out our values of love for God and one another. Guided by John Wesley’s Three Simple Rules: do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously. All are always welcome in our OUMC community.

Love boldly.       Serve Joyfully.      Lead Courageously.
