About Evangel Heights United Methodist Church

Mission Statement of Evangel Heights United Methodist Church

EHUMC exists to equip, nurture and reach out to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Equip

God calls us to equip the body of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit so that we do the work of God.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:11-14)

Nurture

God calls us to nurture one another in Christ so that we build loving relationships.

‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Matthew 22:37-39)

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not think your are superior. (Romans 12:9-16)

Reach Out

God calls us to reach out with Christian compassion so that God’s grace may abound.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. (Matthew 25:35-36)

… go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Welcome from Pastor Michelle

Thank you for visiting with us through this page. Evangel Heights UMC is a congregation that reflects your family- diversity in thought, family makeup and spiritual maturity.

As a congregation we are striving to be the Body of Jesus Christ, obeying the teachings of Jesus Christ as we follow the Person of Jesus Christ as He leads us beyond the walls of our congregation out into our neighborhood, larger community, the state, and into the world to share God’s love with those we come in contact with.

We invite you to join us as we continue on this journey of growing spiritually and relationally with Jesus Christ, with one another and with those who God places in our paths.

Prayer is an emphasis of our congregation. We believe in prayer and the power of prayer. If we can be of prayer support to you, please click the button below to be redirected to the prayer request page.

The components of the worship service are: A Pastoral Welcome, Music (a blending of music -traditional hymns and praise songs- accompanied by piano and organ), Prayers of various forms, a Sermon, and a time to celebrate God’s faithfulness to the congregation, individually and corporately, through giving back to God our First Fruits (financially giving to God first), and to celebrate how the congregation is being used by God, individually and corporately to be in Mission with others.

The first Sunday of each month features the Service of Holy Communion. The United Methodist Church practices “open communion” . This means you do not need to be a member of Evangel Heights in order to participate. Other special services take place throughout the year.

You can enter through the North door (by the playground). There are no steps which allows for full access to all the classrooms, Church office and Fellowship Hall.

You can also enter through the Main Entrance at the center back of the church. It has a ramp. The Main Entrance is the closest entrance to the Sanctuary worship area.

There is not a special entry for kids.

Access to the Sanctuary is by chair lift attended by one of our staff or volunteers. The Sanctuary is equipped with the Loop hearing system. (If your hearing aids are pre-set, please adjust them to receive the T-coil signal.) If not, a limited number of headsets are available at the sound booth. Please indicate your need to one of the ushers or greeters.
