WHAT WE BELIEVE:

ACCEPTANCE

We are an inclusive and diverse community. Come with your troubles and with your joys, alone or together, all are welcome inside Brooklyn United Methodist Church.

BELONGING

Together in worship, we can become one family. We can support each other in times of trouble and rejoice with each other in times of happiness. As one family, we love each other with all our hearts.

CONNECTION

Through worship, we can begin to understand the love that God has for all his children. We can learn to have hope in this world and to spread that hope to others.

SERVICE

To get closer to God and His hopes for us, we can serve our community, both near and global, brothers and sisters. By helping others, we can share God’s grace with all.
