Why Choose Love? Why Another Church?
At Love United Methodist Church, we prioritize fostering a sense of belonging and community within our network. The U.S. Surgeon General's 2023 report, “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation,” underscores the critical need for connection. We respond to this challenge by cultivating a virtual and local network where community, unconditional love, and the teachings of Jesus guide us toward authentic and supportive interactions.
No matter your background or beliefs, there's a meaningful role for you here in our mission of love.
Wherever there is love, there is community. Together, we can cultivate spaces of belonging and hope for all.
