The Mission of First United Methodist Church is to believe in Jesus Christ as Lord, to receive the power of the Holy Spirit, and to respond to the needs of others with the love of God the Father.
The mission statment is repeated each Sunday in Worship. We stress the three verbs of believe, receive and respond as ways for living the membership vows to serve Christ as Lord through The United Methodist Church generallsy and First United Methodist Church specifically. We are empowered by the Holy Spirit with these action verbs for drawing closer to Christ and becoming disciples and Christ followers. We are learning and living the mission as we go from the church building in the community to serve as neighbors with an active love.
We invite ALL people to join us at First United Methodist Church Mocksville and share with us in living the mission of Believe, Receive and Respond. There is a place for you, and we look forward to serving alongside you as we practice discipleship together.
Worship is the center of Sunday Activities. We also have Sunday School, youth, music makers, children’s activities, handbell rehearsals, and Bible studies. Please see our “ministry” tab for a list and description of what we do along with worship.
Worship is an expression of praise to God. We sing, speak, proclaim, pray, and gather as a community worshipping God and all that God has done and continues doing in our lives. We know that people worship in a variety of ways and styles. We offer two services each Sunday for worship. Between the two services we also offer Sunday School for all ages. Join us for an authentic worship of God and tell us what you feel.
