Western Pennsylvania Conference of the United Methodist Church
In Western Pennsylvania we see ourselves as "spiritual trailblazers" who seek to transform the world with the good news of God's grace and love. We do that by striving to become inviting communities of faith filled with people who are not only actively seeking the presence of Christ in their own lives but eagerly looking for ways to share Christ's presence with others.
For the sake of transforming the world through Jesus Christ,
the Vision of the Western Pennsylvania Conference is:
EACH PASTOR
a spiritual Trailblazer
EACH CHURCH
a transforming and inviting community of faith
Our Theme:
South Avenue United Methodist Church is a loving and diverse Christian Community of believers, open to all, dedicated to being servants of Jesus Christ.
Trusting in God’s guidance, we witness to Jesus Christ and participate in God’s work by worshipping, learning, sharing, and practicing intentional hospitality with each other and the world.
Led by the Holy Spirit, we will grow in relationship to Jesus Christ, and witness his love for all God’s people in caring outreach to our faith community and beyond.
Our guiding vision is that it be obvious to all that we are a servant Christian Community dedicated to ministering to one another and to the greater community in the image given to us by Jesus Christ.
