Our Mission:
We are members of
the Body of
Christ
Committed
to Providing Opportunities for Discipleship
throughThe
Teaching of the Word, Meaningful Worship, and Christian Service,
Accepting
all who will respond to the Call of Christ.
Our church is one of over 41,000 congregations of United
Methodism in the world. We hold to the basic teachings of Christianity, and consider
ourselves part of the whole church of Jesus Christ, made up of many denominations.
We are followers of Jesus Christ; but the founder of our
family of Christians, John Wesley, gave emphasis to certain Christian truths:
Everyone can know God's love through Christ and be
changed. This is God's "amazing grace."
This grace fills us with an assurance that we are God's
beloved children, and gives us courage to live our lives with strength, integrity, love
and compassion.
God wants us, both as individuals and as communities, to
be better than we are. So we are active in applying God's truth to our own lives, and to
the larger communities of which we are a part.
While we are bound together by these truths, we celebrate
a wide diversity in opinions about many matters. John Wesley said that Methodists are not
defined by their opinions, but by how much they love God and "shed God's love abroad
in the world."
United Methodists are tied together by a unique
connectional structure enabling a strong presence throughout the world, and our local
congregation is a vital part of that connection.
Who We Are:
Mackey Chapel is a small but vibrant congregation of believers in
the Lord Jesus Christ. On November 14, 1999 we celebrated and thanked God for
62
years of His faithfulness, His mercy and grace and express our confidence and trust in Him
for all that is yet to come.
While Mackey Chapel's membership at present is largely from the
African-American community, we believe that God has called us to demonstrate the
reconciling ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in whom the walls of separation
have come crashing down.
We therefore say to all - whoever you are and wherever you have
come from - no matter what your status or standing in life may be or has been - whatever
your ethnicity or your cultural and language group may be - if you are looking for a
church home where you will be loved, accepted, and encouraged to grow in Christian
discipleship - we'd like you to consider making Mackey Chapel your church family.
